Scenario
Pretend you are a member of an interprofessional team that is attempting to improve the quality of health care
and the outcomes in a vulnerable population. For the first step in your team’s work, you have decided to
conduct an analysis of current position papers that address the issue and population you are considering.
In your analysis you will note the team’s initial views on the issue in the population as well as the views across
a variety of relevant position papers. You have been tasked with finding the most current standard of care or
evidenced-based practice and evaluating both the pros and cons of the issue. For the opposing viewpoints, it is
important to discuss how the team could respond to encourage support. This paper will be presented to a
committee of relevant stakeholders from your care setting and the community. If it receives enough support,
you will be asked to create a new policy that could be enacted to improve the outcomes related to your chosen
issue and target population.
