Introduction
Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
As a nurse leader, you may be called upon to present a detailed report to your executive leadership team and key stakeholders that describes a quality or safety problem and its effects on outcomes, fully supported by relevant and credible data.
This assessment provides an opportunity to draft and present a report in which you can call attention to quality and safety issues and opportunities, effectively support your position, and lay out a plan for change.
Note: This assessment is based on the executive summary you prepared in the previous assessment.
Scenario
The executive summary you completed in the previous assessment captured the attention and interest of the executive leadership team. They have asked you to provide them with a detailed presentation that addresses outcome measures and performance issues or opportunities, including a strategy for ensuring that all aspects of patient care are measured. Several key stakeholders will be unable to attend your presentation in person, so you have decided to provide those individuals with a video recording of the presentation.
Preparation
Your deliverables for this assessment are:
A slide deck to supplement your presentation and facilitate discussion of your plan.
A video recording of your presentation.
You may use Microsoft PowerPoint or any other suitable presentation software to create your slides. Use the speaker’s notes section of each slide to develop your talking points and reference your sources, as appropriate. If you need help designing your presentation, you are encouraged to review the various presentation resources provided for this assessment. These resources will help you to design an effective presentation, whether you choose to use PowerPoint or other presentation design software.
You may use Kaltura or other technology of your choice to record your video.
If using Kaltura, refer to the Using Kaltura tutorial for directions on recording and uploading your video in the courseroom.
Note: If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in this activity, please contact Disability Services to request accommodations.
