proposal you developed for the third assessment.
Expand All
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.
○ 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, refer to Capella University Library:
PowerPoint Presentations.
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 collaborative
interdisciplinary team approach would help achieve a specific improvement
goal.
● Summarize an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to 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?
○ Why should the audience care about solving it?
● Part 2: Relevance of an Interdisciplinary Team Approach.
○ Why is using an interdisciplinary team relevant, or the best
approach, to addressing the issue?
○ How will it help to achieve improved outcomes or reach a goal?
● Part 3: Interdisciplinary Plan Summary.
○ What is the objective?
○ How likely is it to work?
○ What will the interdisciplinary team do?
● Part 4: Implementation and Resource Management.
○ How could the plan be implemented to ensure effective use of
resources?
○ How could the plan be managed to ensure that resources were not
wasted?
○ How does the plan justify the resource expenditure?
● Part 5: Evaluation.
○ What would a successful outcome of the project look like?
○ 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.
● APA formatting: Make sure that in-text citations on your slides and in your
notes pages and reference slide reflect current APA Style and Format.
Portfolio Prompt: Remember to save the final assessment to your ePortfolio so that
you may refer to it as you complete the final Capstone course.

Guidelines for Effective
PowerPoint Presentations
Introduction
One concern about visual presentations is that the technology
used to create them can be used in such a way that it actually
detracts from the message rather than enhances it. To help
you consider carefully how your message is presented so that
it reflects care, quality, and professionalism, consider the
information provided in the remaining slides.
NOTE: This presentation serves as an example in itself, by
utilizing all of the guidelines mentioned.
Outline
The following topics will be covered:
▪ Writing
▪ Bullets
▪ Organization
▪ Tables
▪ Audience
▪ Font
▪ Design
▪ Speaker Notes
▪ Images
Writing
▪ Present ideas succinctly with lean prose.
▪ Use short sentences.
▪ Use active, rather than passive voice.
▪ Avoid negative statements, if possible.
▪ Avoid double negative entirely.
▪ Check spelling and grammar.
▪ Use consistent capitalization rules.
Organization
▪ Develop a clear, strategic introduction to provide context
for the presentation.
▪ Develop an agenda or outline slide to provide a roadmap
for the presentation.
▪ Group relevant pieces of information together.
▪ Integrate legends and keys with charts and tables.
▪ Organize slides in logical order.
▪ Present one concept or idea per slide.
▪ Use only one conclusion slide to recap main ideas.
Audience
▪ Present information at language level of intended audience.
▪ Do not use jargon or field-specific language.
▪ Follow the 70% rule—If it does not apply to 70% of your
audience, present it to individuals at a different time.
Design
▪ Use a consistent design throughout the presentation.
▪ Keep layout and other features consistent.
▪ Use the master slide design feature to ensure consistency.
▪ Use consistent horizontal and vertical alignment of slide
elements throughout the presentation.
▪ Leave ample space around images and text.
Images
▪ When applicable, enhance text-only slide content by
developing relevant images for your presentation.
▪ Do not use gratuitous graphics on each slide.
▪ Use animations only when needed to enhance meaning. If
selected, use them sparingly and consistently.
Bullets
▪ Use bullets unless showing rank or sequence of items.
▪ If possible, use no more than five bullet points and eight
lines of text total per slide.
Tables
▪ Use simple tables to show numbers, with no more than 4
rows x 4 columns.
▪ Reserve more detailed tables for a written summary.
Font
▪ Keep font size at 24 point or above for slide titles.
▪ Keep font size at 18 or above for headings and explanatory
text.
▪ Use sans serif fonts such as Arial or Verdana.
▪ Use ample contrast between backgrounds and text.
Speaker Notes
▪ Summarize key information.
▪ Provide explanation.
▪ Discuss application and implication to the field, discipline or
work setting.
▪ Document the narration you would use with each slide.
