Preparation
The policy proposal you developed was well received by senior leadership. As a result, they have asked you to put together a presentation for one of the stakeholder groups that you identified in your proposal.
Your deliverable for this assessment is a slide deck to support your presentation. You may use Microsoft PowerPoint or any other suitable presentation software. Please use the notes section of each slide to develop your talking points and reference your sources, as appropriate.
If you choose to use PowerPoint and need help designing your presentation, a link to Microsoft tutorials is provided in the Supplemental Resources. An additional PowerPoint guide is linked in the Resources.
The design and organization of your presentation will determine how many slides you need. However, in this instance, senior leaders have suggested that 8–12 slides is a reasonable expectation for this presentation.

Presentation Design
Being able to effectively address any audience is a necessary leadership skill. Remember that you are the speaker, not a projectionist. Your purpose is not to present a slide show. Your audience is there to listen to what you have to say, not read your slides—or worse, listen to you read them. Design your presentation slides to compliment and reinforce your message and engage your listeners.
The following tips will help you create presentation slides that work to your advantage:
· Focus on the content of your presentation and the development of your main points. Remember that your purpose is to deliver a message on ethics that is clear, well organized, and engaging.
· Consider your intended audience and how best to communicate effectively with them.
· Create slides that support your presentation. They should not be your presentation.
. Use a professional presentation template, or one used in your organization.
. Ensure that your slide background provides sufficient visual contrast for your text and graphics.
. Avoid filling your slides with text. Use speaker notes to record the details you want to communicate to your audience.
. Be judicious in your use of bulleted lists. Consider a separate slide for each point.
. Use images and graphics, when appropriate, to illustrate information and make your points. Presentation slides are a visual medium. Images are more effective than text at capturing viewers’ attention.
. Avoid using images that are simply decorative. They can be a visual distraction and do not contribute to your message.
. Avoid using flashy slide transitions and animations. They can be both distracting and annoying. Keep your slide transitions consistent throughout the presentation.
. Add a slide to the end of your presentation to prompt questions from the audience.

Some stakeholder needs may conflict with those of other groups. Be sure to consider how or if these conflicts can be reconciled.

Harold Liss
Physician
I’ve got to tell you, the last thing physicians want to hear about is more metrics or targets or benchmarks. We’re getting buried under metrics and they always seem to be about squeezing more out of us. Burnout is a real problem and that actually has serious implications for quality and patient safety. Physician compensation structures are just focused on requiring or entreating physicians to do more, more, more. That kind of thinking contributes to a lot of the problems we’re seeing in terms of wasteful practices. Most doctors are going to do the right thing most of the time, but the environment is becoming one where decisions are driven by profit over quality care and the culprit is often the fee-for-service system.
Janie Poole
Clinical Nurse
You won’t find a nurse in this organization who doesn’t support quality improvement efforts, but I’ll be honest, most of the nurses I know feel like these initiatives just mean more work for nurses. If you are proposing changes to a clinical procedure or workflow, you will need to be very clear about how it actually imrproves on the current process. Are you solving a real problem or one what just looks like a problem?
Another thing to consider is staffing. We talk about staffing ratios all the time and the fact of the matter is that if you want to see improvements in quality, do something about staffing. That’s the most important area you could target.
The nursing profession has been looking at quality assurance for decades. We’re trained to be particularly sensitive to those aspects of patient care where the quality of nursing care delivered has a clear impact on patient outcomes. That’s why nursing unions and professional organizations are so focused on staffing levels. We know that nurses are the front line for patient care, but we need to have an environment that supports our ability to provide quality care.
Tara Jennings
Nurse Informatics
Consider something like an EHR dashboard that provides real time clinical indicators for a particular unit. These indicators might include fall risk; pressure ulcer risk; medication information… there are so many indicators that could be tracked. The point is that individual nurses, unit nurses or nurse managers all benefit from these kinds of solutions, but also need to be part of designing and developing clinical processes because they are so close to the actual workflow.
Vickie Vasquez
Care Coordinator
Obviously, the details of your plan are important, but in general, you should know that care coordination can often be a key strategy for quality improvement. Care coordination — particularly for conditions like COPD or diabetes — has the potential to improve the effectiveness, safety, and efficiency of the experience a person has with a health system. Well-designed care coordination can deliver improvements not only for patients, but also for the health care system and for the insurance providers, and other third party payers.
