Healthcare organizations strive to improve the quality of services through promoting access to diverse services to the patients. The dynamic nature of health care is one of the most common challenges facing the organizations’ objectives. The transformations keep changing the health care needs and thus posing threats to success of plans in health care. In order to ensure that all the needs of patients are addressed, health care organizations consist of various departments and sections. These sections represent areas of specialization and thus entail various professionals (AACN, 2011). To ensure there is a smooth flow of processes in the organization, inter-professional collaboration is very essential in an organization.
Nursing managers are very important members of the health care service community. These professionals conduct a wide range of activities from administration and overseeing the smooth running of health care operations. Health care service delivery constitutes a series of procedures that require various areas of expertise. This requires the development of high levels of relational and communication capabilities among the professionals involved (RWJF, 2013). The formation of strategic technical networks among health care experts within and outside the organization is very crucial towards promoting these communication capabilities. Effective collaboration and cooperative activity in these networks is very crucial because it promotes accurate and smooth flowing of information from one professional to another.
Nursing managers play a big role in enhancing this collaboration (AACN, 2011). As the health care organization administrators, they should promote a cooperative culture in the organization. Acquisition of this culture can be through the provision of a conducive structural framework in the organization through which this collaboration can be enhanced. This process can be driven by propagating a friendly environment for the strategic collaboration. Some of the outcomes that can be yielded from the collaboration includes increase in the accountability level and thus enhancing the quality of health care services. The collaboration also advances high levels of sharing of information, skills and knowledge and thus forming a critical part of professional and educational development among the experts.
