Case study 8.2 (Chang & Daly 2012 p. 123).
You have been asked to work in cardiac rehabilitation following graduate studies in this area. The model of care in the unit is collaborative involving a physiotherapist psychologist social worker doctors and yourself as a specialist registered nurse. In the case conferences you notice that your opinion is consistently ignored despite your expertise in the area. In addition you are never asked for your ideas when difficult situations are encountered.
What steps could you take to change this?
Explore the way an effective collaborative model involving practitioners from several disciplines could work most effectively. See the Nancarrow et al. (2013) eReading.

Tutorial/workshop activities
Activity 1Discharge planning: the importance of family and team collaboration?
Your class tutor will guide you through the following scenario.
Scenario brief as provided by Edith Cowan University.
Gary Mitchel is a 20-year-old man who has experienced a traumatic brain injury during a car accident nine months ago. Garys physical injuries and brain damage have resulted in him having to relearn basic tasks including walking talking and swallowing. Frontal lobe damage has resulted in significant behavioural changes: he is impulsive aggressive and sexually uninhibited which is challenging for the staff caring for him.
Both staff and family are unhappy with the current care environment. The clinical nurse manager arranges a team meeting to discuss Garys behaviour and the choices that need to be made to manage his physical and psychological issues his ongoing rehabilitation and discharge planning.
In class you will view the entire picture as the communication within the health care team transitions from inadequate to effective. You will also have opportunity to discuss the scenario as the case unfolds.
