Answer preview

Quality care and patient safety are the most influential factors in the healthcare sector. Interprofessional teamwork is one of the elements that has ensured that quality care and patient safety are achieved in Health Care Organizations (HCO). These teams must promote coordination, communication, and collaboration. However, developing initiatives in the HCO has been a hectic process because of the non-effective features of interprofessional units. Most of the clinical practice areas with outpatient infusion centers and pediatric oncology experience challenges regarding quality care and patient safety. These challenges include poor communication, poor ethics, and adverse patient outcomes due to professional diversity. By experiencing such a clinical setting, iCARE appears to be the most recommendable concept to develop improvements on the interprofessional teams. The components of iCARE include compassion, advocacy, resilience, and Evidence-Based Practice (EBP). For that reason, this research paper will outline and describe a nursing action item for each of the iCARE components towards interprofessional team support and positive patient outcomes(950words)
