   • Apply the components of the iCARE concept to interprofessional teams in a short paper. (Body of the paper to be 3 pages, excluding the title page and references page)
   • iCARE components are:
     • C ompassion
     • A dvocacy
     • R esilience
     • E vidence-Based Practice (EBP)
   • How could you contribute to an interprofessional team and patient outcomes through nursing actions of: compassion, advocacy, resilience, and evidence-based practice?
4. Select one scholarly nursing article from CINAHL as a resource for your paper.
   • Additional scholarly sources can be used but are optional.
   • When searching in the CINAHL database, please limit your search word to one component of the paper you wish to emphasize, such as ‘Resilience’.  Searching for the term iCARE will not produce the results you need.

THIS NEEDS TO BE INCLUDE IN THE DISCUSSION

Take on the role of the staff nurse in the scenario, and post an explanation of how you would go about finding out how many diabetics are in your practice and how many meet all components of HEDIS comprehensive diabetes care. 

One example of a measurement tool is the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) comprehensive care measures. Review the components of HEDIS comprehensive diabetes care; then consider the following scenario.

You are a staff nurse working in a private primary care practice. It is a small practice with 2 MDs (internists), 2 nurses, 1 medical assistant, and an office staff for billing. There are approximately 1,000 patients in the practice. You have had no EHR until the last year, but all charts are manual, historically. Your physicians are starting to inquire about quality incentives, particularly regarding patients with diabetes.

Regardless of your title or actual position, you’re always a leader in some way, and your decisions and actions will have an effect on other nurses, patients, family members, and visitors. Consider this statement as you respond to at least 2 of the following: 

1. In the positive outcome, how did Dena’s extra responsibilities reward her emotionally and professionally? What might she have sacrificed? 
2. What kinds of decisions led to a positive outcome? What kinds of decisions led to a negative outcome? 
3. How might previous reprimands affect Dena’s willingness to speak up? How much can leadership impact positive outcomes? 
4. How did Dena need to change her approach with each of the different colleagues and situations? Have you made adjustments in your approach to achieve positive results at work? 
5. How does the disposition of the physician affect a nurse’s ability to speak up? What would you do if the response was not as gracious as Dr. Green’s? 
6. How much of your job involves customer service? Is that stressful? 
7. What creative strategies do you use in dealing with difficult situations? Can you share an example?
