Following a hurricane, the disaster team chooses to use a collaborative model to assess the needs of the community. Each team member is given a community analysis and assigned the task to create a tentative plan of action
Why would the use of a collaborative model hamper the progress of the assessment and plan in a disaster? (Select all that apply.)
A) Individual decision-making creates bias.
B) Assessment is time-consuming.
C) Approach to problem solving is linear.
D) Approaches must be preestablished.
E) Collaboration is limited.
Ans: B, D
Feedback:
The collaborative model has distinct drawbacks. This form of assessment is time-consuming and logistical, and systematic approaches must be preestablished to maintain clarity in the approach for all those involved. The collaborative model is characterized by a group decision-making process, not an individual one. Problem solving would be multidisciplinary and simultaneous, not linear. Collaboration would be enhanced, not limited.
