Collaborative Team Models and Remotivation Therapy

Question: Discuss about the Collaborative Team Models and Remotivation Therapy. Answer: Introduction: The intellectual properties of a health provision or service include the names of the products or brands of the particular organisation, the inventions and discoveries, design or look of the product and any other patents and trademarks fall under the various types of intellectual properties. The important intellectual properties of a community health or service also include various devices and equipment, diagnostics and therapies, essential software, any kind of guidelines and training materials and other pharmaceutical products and processes. Protecting intellectual property is necessary because others might copy the necessary elements and the particular organisation has to suffer. In order to protect the intellectual property, certain legal actions might be taken so that no one can steal or copies the particular thing. There are two major ways of protecting intellectual property: Automatic protection: Copyright and Design right are the two means of automatic protection of the intellectual property. Protection that has to be applied for: Trademark, registered design and patents are protected by law when their protection is applied in the court of justice. In case if the intangible intellectual assets are not protected on the basis of intellectual property, it is expected that prompt action has to be taken to make these assets covered under the legal possession. It is advisable that the intellectual properties would be insured and wherever applicable they the patent and the trademark should be made in order to protect the same from being imitated by any other company or organisation. Moreover, these actions should be taking prior to carrying out any community program or working in any region for the community benefits. Combining organisational alignment with the employee engagement is important to engage the employees with the organisation to sustain better performance. By proper alignment, the connection between strategy and execution can be made and the employees would be able to make sound judgements about their work priorities. This way, the employees can become agile and can adapt to any change quickly. Employee engagement is the state when the employees think positive about their organisation and make discretionary efforts. In the view point of Omidvar, an engaged employee work harder and stay longer and thus, create a positive impact on their workplace. If employee engagement is successful, it will automatically lower the turnover cost and improve employee wellbeing and safety. On the other hand, employee engagement without proper alignment will eventually lead to a misdirected passion. Therefore, it can be said that alignment and employee engagement factors are complimentary to each other a nd it is important for keeping long term direction measures with the particular organisation. In order to complete the work in a timely manner, one needs to be much dedicated towards his or her job responsibilities. If one is assigned with certain job and duty, the person should be responsible enough to deal with the situation and complete the same in timely manner. In order to do so, drawing an action plan is the most effective solution to it. It is expected that keeping a sense of timeliness is the most important criteria. Moreover, when the task is divided into various segments, the work can be completed with high standard because the task has been properly disintegrated into various segments matching with the time required for the particular task. Therefore, designing an appropriate action plan based on the assigned work shall be done at foremost. The objective of the health service is to help the people who are suffering from ice epidemic and also to support people to come out of their distress because of the increasing suicidal rates. It might not be possible for an individual to carry out the relief activity and would eventually require the collaboration of team of people. The collaborative team can be formed from the members inside the organisation and from the members outside the organisation. From within the organisation, the team could be formed by including the managers and leaders. It has to be understood that these persons are experienced and have better knowledge about the subject. Therefore, when these important people are involved in the community health care program, the situation could be dealt easily and the victims or the sufferers would be guided properly. The members who could be selected from outside the organisation are the local people of the community. There always remain some people who have better knowledge about the community than others residing at the same place. Therefore, these individuals need to be chosen and they should be involved in the process. In addition to this, the any representative from the local health service community can also be involved. These might be the doctors, health care representatives or any other staffs working there. They would be able to tell about the actual condition of the place and would also supply the right data of the victims and sufferers. In addition to this, since the issue is related to suicides and drugs, it also involve legal issues and thus, collaborating with a legal expert can also fetch good response to the overall investigation and it is expected that proper steps to fight against these issues would be taken easily. Working for community is definitely a socially constructive thing and people performing such activities often get support from the community whom they work for. However, there is no doubt that conflicts and issues are bound to take place even if the particular organisation tries to do everything positive for the community. Therefore, the ones who are responsible for undertaking the community activities should be prepared enough to deal with such situations. It should be kept into consideration that the conflict can occur both internally and in the external environment where the particular organisation has been providing their service. Internal conflict might take place among the managers and the employees working together for any kind of reason, in case if their point of view does not match with each other. In order to deal with such conflict, effective internal communication can be suggested as the best possible solution. It is expected that both the parties should come to a common conclusion by effectively communicating each other and discussing the issue. In order to overcome the external conflict, it is expected that the community members should be informed beforehand about the program that the health service organisation is going to organise. The representatives of the community should be asked about any kind of needs or expectations they expect from the health service organisation. It is expected that a mutual settlement would be made and then the health care should provide their service in the respective community. However, in case if the situation goes out of hand, the same issue of the conflict can be discussed and proper steps can be taken to overcome the issue. One should not assume things and carry on their activity but one should discuss the same with both internal and external public related to the organisation. After completion of the collaboration project, I would like to share my experience. Since, the project was related to the increased rate of suicides in rural Victoria and the increased cases of ice epidemic, there were many cases where the victims were in the situation that they could hardly consider themselves responsible for the entire thing. I have met with the family members of those who committed suicide. Their condition is worse and more painful. They could not believe that they have lost such an important person from their life. On the other hand, the family members of the ice epidemic victims wanted the victim to get back their normal life back. It was a tough situation o deal with these people. At times, I also used to get emotional. Thus, I have identified that I lack professionalism which is equally important at the time of dealing with such people. In addition to this, once I confronted a small argument with my senior that had lead to a bad situation. Here, I identified that the situation has arise because of lack of proper inter personal communication. It was only when I communicated with him and explained my point of view, the matter was solved. Therefore, I need to work on my interpersonal communication skills as well. Apart from this, I believe that I have good knowledge of my subject that has helped to me understand the various situations that I had to confront many times. However, I need to increase my knowledge for future activities as well. For this, I would have to acquire knowledge about the condition of people in different regions of Australia, mostly the rural part. It is only when I shall be able to keep a trace of their activities I would be qualified as a responsible health care representative.
