For
this assessment, you will create an 8-12 slide PowerPoint presentation for one
or more stakeholder or leadership groups to generate interest and buy-in for
the plan proposal you developed for the third assessment.

Introduction
As a current
or future nurse leader, you may be called upon to present to stakeholders and
leadership about projects that you have been involved in or wish to implement.
The ability to communicate a plan—and potential implications of not pursuing
such a plan—to stakeholders effectively can be critically important in creating
awareness and buy-in, as well as building your personal and professional brand
in your organization. It is equally important that you know how to create
compelling presentations for others’ delivery and ensure that they convey the
same content you would deliver if you were the presenter.
You
are encouraged to complete the Evidence-Based Practice: Basics and Guidelines
activity before you develop the presentation. This activity consists of six
questions that will create the opportunity to check your understanding of the
fundamentals of evidence-based practice as well as ways to identify EBP in
practice. The information gained from completing this formative will help
promote success in the Stakeholder Presentation and demonstrate courseroom
engagement—it requires just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.
Demonstration of
Proficiency
· Competency 1: Explain strategies for managing human and
financial resources to promote organizational health.
o
Explain how the
interdisciplinary plan could be implemented and how the human and financial
resources would be managed.
Professional Context
This
assessment will provide you with an opportunity to sharpen your ability to
create a professional presentation to stakeholders. In this presentation, you
will explain the Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle and how it can be used to introduce
the plan (P), implement the plan (D), study the effectiveness of the plan (S),
and act on what is learned (A) to drive continuous improvement. By using this
cycle, the stakeholders will have a tool and a proposal to expand on these
ideas to drive workplace change and create improved processes to solve an
interprofessional collaboration problem.
Scenario
In
addition to summarizing the key points of Assessments 2 and 3, you will provide
stakeholders and/or leadership with an overview of project specifics as well as
how success would be evaluated—you will essentially be presenting a discussion
of the Plan, Do, and Study parts of the PDSA cycle. Again, you will not be
expected to execute the project, so you will not have any results to study.
However, by carefully examining the ways in which your plan could be
carried out and evaluated, you will get some of the experience of the thinking
required for PDSA.
When
creating your PowerPoint for this assessment, it is important to keep in mind
the target audience: your interviewee’s organizational leadership. The overall
goal of this assessment is to create a presentation that your interviewee could
potentially give in his or her organization.
Instructions
Please
follow the Capella Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations [PPTX]. If you need technical information on using PowerPoint,

Be
sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading
criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you
understand what is needed for a distinguished score.
· Explain an organizational or patient issue for which a

address an organizational or patient issue.
· Explain how the interdisciplinary plan could be implemented
and how the human and financial resources would be managed.
· Propose evidence-based criteria that could be used to
evaluate the degree to which the project was successful in achieving the
improvement goal.
· Communicate the PowerPoint presentation of the
interdisciplinary improvement plan to stakeholders in a professional manner,
with writing that is clear, logically organized, and respectful with correct
grammar and spelling using current APA style.
There
are various ways to structure your presentation; following is one example:
· Part 1: Organizational or Patient Issue.

What is the issue that
you are trying to solve or improve?
o
Why should the audience
care about solving it?
· Part 2: Relevance of an Interdisciplinary Team Approach.

· Part 5: Evaluation.
o
What would a successful
outcome of the project look like?
o
What are the criteria
that could be used to measure that success?
§ How could this be used to show the degree of success?
Again,
keep in mind that your audience for this presentation is a specific group (or
groups) at your interviewee’s organization and tailor your language and
messaging accordingly. Remember, also, that another person will ultimately be
giving the presentation. Include thorough speaker’s notes that flesh out the
bullet points on each slide.
Additional Requirements
· Number of slides: Plan
on using one or two slides for each part of your presentation as needed, so the
content of your presentation will be 8–12 slides in length. Remember that
slides should contain concise talking points, and you will use presenter’s
notes to go into detail. Be sure to include a reference slide as the last slide
of your presentation.
· Number of references: Cite
a minimum of 3 sources of scholarly or professional evidence that support your
central ideas. Resources should be no more than five years old.
