BHA4020 Interdisciplinary Presentation of Evidence-Based Recommendations
Assignment Overview
Health care leaders scan for emerging and existing issues, prioritize problems, collect and
analyze data, propose evidence-based solutions, and engage diverse teams in the process.
Once a problem has been sufficiently analyzed, the health care leader must identify
stakeholders who will participate in the final decision making for the proposed evidencebased solution.
Most importantly, the health care leader must craft a message that is aligned with
organizational mission and strategy, is based upon sound analysis and data, and one that is
inclusive of a wide variety of diverse stakeholders. The message needs to be
communicated in a clear, concise, culturally competent, balanced and professional
manner.
In this assessment, you will have an opportunity to practice a wide variety of executive
level skills by conducting a PowerPoint presentation on your selected health care
problem. You will demonstrate a flow of logic and analysis by following an outline
template that can be used for your slide presentation. The goal of the presentation is to
state the problem, to apply an appropriate tool for analysis, to offer insights and evidencebased recommendations. Use your webcam for this presentation.
Your imaginary audience is comprised of a diverse senior leadership team at your selected
organization. The team represents a variety of ages, cultures, and perspectives. Your goal
is to communicate in a concise, professional, and culturally competent manner while
persuading the senior leadership team to implement your evidence-based
recommendations. Consider that two of the senior leadership team members may be
evaluating you as a high potential candidate for a promotion. Good luck! It is now time to
construct your presentation.
Assignment Instructions
Create a recorded PowerPoint presentation of 8–12 pre-formatted slides with webcam
on, designed for interdepartmental and leadership team viewing. The presentation should
be 3–5 minutes maximum, ideally using Kaltura (or other accessible technology). Make
sure that you save your final presentation to your ePortfolio.
See the Final PowerPoint Template [PPTX] resource for a suggested structure. Be sure to
include the raw data from your visual data summary in a readable format in a Word
document or spreadsheet with appropriate categories, titles, and labels.
