Introduction   * Topic : Collaboration to improve patient safety;   * Goals/Objectives:       + Improve medication and diagnostic safety;       + Prevent unnecessary hospital admissions;       + Improve patient data privacy.   * Rationale:       + Poor collaboration compromises patient safety (McVay, Stamatakis, Jacobs, Tabak, & Brownson, 2016).       + Harm to patients. My practicum project topic is “Incorporating effective team collaboration to improve patient safety.” Three goals guided the project: improvement of medication and diagnostic safety, prevention of unnecessary emergency department hospital admissions, and the enhancement of patients’ data privacy. These three goals are instrumental in the development of patient safety standards. The rationale for undertaking the practicum project is rooted in the fact that about 25% of patients who seek medical or health services are harmed by poor healthcare systems (World Health Organization, 2019). This problem is further compounded by the lack of collaboration among healthcare teams, which makes it difficult for professionals to coordinate healthcare functions. Consequently, the practicum project plan seeks to change this outcome by improving collaboration levels among healthcare teams. Methodology   * Observations.   * Focusing on human behavior.   * Verbal and nonverbal expressions.   * Insider’s point of view. The project setting was the healthcare environment where patients received emergency and medical services. As mentioned at the start of this presentation, the proposed intervention focused on improving team collaboration standards to promote safety standards. The linked data was collected by observing human behavior and verbal or nonverbal expressions of professionals working in the healthcare setting. From an insider’s point of view, I was able to analyze the healthcare system and make recommendations for its improvement, based on key areas of healthcare system delivery that could be enhanced through collaboration. Findings   * Enhance level of coordination.   * Share decision-making responsibilities.   * Promote cooperation among healthcare workers.   * Nurturing partnerships. The observations I made during my practicum experience demonstrated that enhancing the level of coordination among healthcare teams was instrumental in improving patient safety standards. In this regard, there was a need for healthcare teams to collaborate with one another and nurture partnerships, which are not only beneficial to the administration of healthcare functions but also instrumental in creating a safe environment for patients to receive health services. This objective could be achieved by sharing decision-making responsibilities. Review Procedures   * Peer review assessments.   * Appraising patient satisfaction standards.   * Comparing hospital admission rates.   * Reviewing patients’ feedback (McVay et al., 2016). The review procedures that could be used to assess the practicum goals have been used in several public health studies, such as those authored by McVay et al. (2016). At an industry level, peer-review assessments could be done to compare how improvements in patient safety standards contrast with other health-based initiatives designed to achieve the same goal. Reviewing the level of patient satisfaction, through open feedback, is also another assessment method that could be used to assess the project objectives. This metric is instrumental in reviewing end-user views regarding changes in healthcare service delivery systems because high levels of patient safety improves patients’ satisfaction levels. Lastly, comparing hospital admiss
