This assignment is meant to address the CEPH competencies: Perform effectively on interprofessional teams. Using a current, real life environmental problem, you will connect with professionals outside public health to understand the role each discipline can provide in addressing this problem. Professionals may include: engineers, urban planners, business leaders, bankers, politicians, teachers, community activists etc. You must “meet” with the professional (by phone, zoom or email) and present the environmental problem. Then extract their unique disciplinary perspective on the problem and potential short term and long-term solutions.
STEP 4: Prepare “Interprofessional Team Report” Select 3 professions outside public health and medicine (see suggestions below).
For each profession, present ideas on various interventions in addressing the problem of the informal recycling of used lead-acid (automotive) batteries. You are encouraged to reach out to people in these professions and solicit their ideas. You will, of course, have to describe the problem and issues so please learn about this before you reach out. You are permitted to work in groups, but the report must come from each individual.
The Issue and Problem: Informal ULAB Recycling Lead-acid automotive and storage batteries are a very important commodity with an ever-expanding global market. Due to their simple construction and components; namely lead, acid and plastic, they approach a global recycling rate of almost 99%. As a result, many informal ULAB recyclers collect batteries, break them apart, melt/smelt the lead and resell it (see references below). This activity could be a family buying and processing a few batteries a week to provide a source of income or larger backyard smelters which process dozens or hundreds of automotive batteries. Unfortunately, the informal recycling process is dirty and contaminates families and communities. The published scholarship on this subject is quite extensive (see YouTubes, websites and listed above).
The Assignment: 5 Interview a team of non-health professionals and explore options to reduce lead poisoning from informal battery recycling activities. But keep in mind that ULAB activities worldwide provide needed sustenance for millions of struggling families in low– and middle-income countries. So simply banning informal ULABs may not be the best option. Each discipline will likely approach this problem from a different angle and your assignment is to describe their approaches. Lastly, please advise your “professionals” that banning LAB is not an option.
Submission: The report should integrate the interventions into a single coherent approach (if possible) and present the challenges in satisfying each intervention. It must also include a section on the lesson’s learned in working on interprofessional (interdisciplinary) teams. The report could be written (at least 1,500 words). It must be well sectioned and referenced. The flow should be as follows: 1. Presentation of health risks associated problems 2. Professional #1 approach 3. Professional #2 approach 4. Professional #3 approach 5. Assessment of the various approaches and lesson learned Possible Professions to choose from: (you may choose family, friends, colleagues) Advocacy Group, Banker, Ecologist / Biologist, Elected official / Mayor / Council Member, Engineer (civil or mechanical), International development officer, Labor Minister, Law Enforcement Officer, Politician, Teacher, Urban planner.

This assignment is super important to me so please read every sentence of the proposal carefully and write this paper!
For the “It must also include a section on the lesson’s learned in working on interprofessional (interdisciplinary) teams” in the proposal, I’ll try to submit the pdf of that session asap
Tittle: EBP/PICOT
Choose Topic: Health and Medical
Select number of pages: 3
Question Description: In order to formulate your evidence-based practice (EBP), you need to assess your organization. In this assignment, you will be responsible for setting the stage for EBP. This assignment is conducted in two parts: an organizational cultural and readiness assessment and the proposal/problem statement and literature review, which you completed in NUR-550.
It is essential to understand the culture of the organization in order to begin assessing its readiness for EBP implementation. Select an appropriate organizational culture survey tool and use this instrument to assess the organization’s readiness.
Develop an analysis of 250 words from the results of the survey, addressing your organization’s readiness level, possible project barriers and facilitators, and how to integrate clinical inquiry, providing strategies that strengthen the organization’s weaker areas.
Make sure to include the rationale for the survey category scores that were significantly high and low, incorporating details or examples. Explain how to integrate clinical inquiry into the organization.
Submit a summary of your results. The actual survey results do not need to be included.
Section B: Proposal/Problem Statement and Literature Review
In NUR-550, you developed a PICOT statement and literature review for a population quality initiative. In 500-750 words, include the following:
Refine your PICOT into a proposal or problem statement.
PICOT statement-Will providing continuing education on racial disparity and racism in healthcare to staff members along with fostering cultural sensitivity help prevent racially induced healthcare disparities within one years’ time?
Provide a summary of the research you conducted to support your PICOT, including subjects, methods, key findings, and limitations.

Choose Topic: Health and Medical
Select number of pages: 3.5
In 1,000-1,500 words, provide a description of the methods to be used to implement the proposed solution. Include the following:
Describe the setting and access to potential subjects. If there is a need for a consent or approval form, then one must be created. Although you will not be submitting the consent or approval forms in Topic 5 with the narrative, you will include the consent or approval forms in the appendices for the final paper.
Describe the amount of time needed to complete this project. Create a timeline. Make sure the timeline is general enough that it can be implemented at any date. Although you will not be submitting the timeline in Topic 5 with the narrative, you will include the timeline in the appendices for the final paper.
Describe the resources (human, fiscal, and other) or changes needed in the implementation of the solution. Consider the clinical tools or process changes that would need to take place. Provide a resource list. Although you will not be submitting the resource list in Topic 5 with the narrative, you will include the resource list in the appendices for the final paper.
Describe the methods and instruments, such as a questionnaire, scale, or test to be used for monitoring the implementation of the proposed solution. Develop the instruments. Although you will not be submitting the individual instruments in Topic 5 with the narrative, you will include the instruments in the appendices for the final paper.
Explain the process for delivering the (intervention) solution and indicate if any training will be needed.
Provide an outline of the data collection plan. Describe how data management will be maintained and by whom. Furthermore, provide an explanation of how the data analysis and interpretation process will be conducted. Develop the data collection tools that will be needed. Although you will not be submitting the data collection tools in Topic 5 with the narrative, you will include the data collection tools in the appendices for the final paper.
Establish the feasibility of the implementation plan. Address the costs for personnel, consumable supplies, equipment (if not provided by the institute), computer-related costs (librarian consultation, database access, etc.), and other costs (travel, presentation development). Make sure to provide a brief rationale for each. Develop a budget plan. Although you will not be submitting the budget plan in Topic 5 with the narrative, you will include the budget plan in the appendices for the final paper.
