Successful collaboration within an integrative practice model
Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to illustrate how collaboration is a key aspect in successful use of an integrative practice model. The integrative practice model depicts the clinical nurse manager, staff development specialist, and clinical nurse specialist roles as having a primary focus with shared secondary dimensions. Critical components of successful collaboration are described as: the establishment of a trusting relationship, ability to develop mutually satisfying goals, and effective communication. An example of the authors' successful implementation of the integrative practice model is given. Positive, measurable outcomes validated the effectiveness of this model when combined with effective collaboration. Striving for successful collaboration within an integrative practice model is recommended to other advanced practitioners who wish to increase individual effectiveness, enhance professional growth, and improve patient outcomes.
