Presentation Elements: Your presentation should include the following key elements, divided into clear, well-organized sections:
Introduction:
Provide background information on the selected problem or opportunity for improvement within Hospital Services.
State the purpose of the QI project.
Outline the objectives of the presentation.
Problem or Opportunity for Improvement:
Describe the problem or opportunity for improvement clearly and concisely.
Include supporting data and statistics that highlight the need for the project.
Provide any relevant background information that contextualizes the issue.
Compare and contrast local hospital data using Leapfrog data related to the selected problem. Highlight differences and similarities in performance metrics.
Data Analysis:
Present the data collected to understand the current state of the problem.
Use charts, graphs, or tables to visualize the data.
Analyze the data to identify any patterns, trends, or significant findings.
Include a comparison of local hospital data with Leapfrog data to contextualize the findings.
Root Cause Analysis:
Detail the root cause analysis conducted to identify underlying causes of the problem.
Describe the tools or methods used (e.g., Fishbone diagram, 5 Whys, etc.).
Explain the results of the analysis clearly.
Discuss any insights gained from comparing local data with Leapfrog data.
Intervention:
Using healthcare research from the last 5 years, describe interventions implemented to address the problem.
Provide a detailed explanation of the intervention strategy.
Include information about the implementation process, including steps taken and timelines.
Consider how the comparison with Leapfrog data influenced the intervention design.
Results:
Based on your literature review present the outcomes of the intervention.
Include data or statistics that demonstrate the effectiveness of the intervention.
Use relevant charts, graphs, or tables to illustrate the results.
Compare the intervention outcomes with Leapfrog benchmarks.
Conclusion and Recommendations:
Summarize the key findings of the QI project.
Discuss any successes or challenges encountered during the project.
Provide recommendations for further improvement and future considerations.
Highlight how the comparison with Leapfrog data can inform ongoing improvements.
References:
Finds five or more reliable sources, (less than 5 years old)that support the validity of the QI project.
List any sources cited in the presentation.
Follow the appropriate citation format (e.g., APA, MLA).
Presentation Requirements:
Ensure the presentation is visually appealing and easy to understand.
Use clear, concise language and avoid cluttering slides with excessive text.
Tailor the presentation to the intended audience (e.g., hospital administration, surgical team).
Aim for a professional and polished appearance with consistent formatting and design.
Submission and Presentation:
Submit the completed PowerPoint presentation by the specified deadline.
Prepare to present your QI project to the class, with each group member contributing to the presentation.
Be ready to answer questions and engage in a discussion about your project.
By incorporating the comparison of local hospital data with Leapfrog data, your group will provide a broader context for the selected problem and demonstrate how benchmarking against established standards can drive quality improvement in Hospital Services. This project will help develop your skills in problem-solving, data analysis, benchmarking, teamwork, and effective communication.
