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.
Knowing who to include in your project plan presentation is
important. Is your plan focused on an organization, a patient
population, or a community? The purpose of the project will
guide identification of the population. Who are the stakeholders?
Are they patients? Health and human services providers,
government officials, influencers, workers whose jobs are
impacted by the proposed plan? Community activists? Or
affected local businesses? (Harris et al., 2023). These are all
important considerations as you plan your presentation for
stakeholders.
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 activity 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.

This assessment is an opportunity to sharpen your ability to
create a professional presentation for stakeholders. By using this
presentation, the stakeholders will have tools to expand on these
ideas in their workplace, and to drive change and improve
processes to solve an interprofessional collaboration problem.
In addition to summarizing the key points of your previous
assessments, you will be providing relevant stakeholders with an
overview of project specifics, including how success will be
measured. Because you will not execute the project, there will be
no results to complete; however, by carefully examining the ways
in which your plan could be carried out and evaluated, you will
experience the thinking required.
When creating your PowerPoint, keep in mind the target
audience: the stakeholders at your interviewee’s organization.
The overall goal is to create an educational, persuasive
presentation that your interviewee could present to his or her
organization.

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 know 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.
• Produce slides that are easy to read and error free. Detailed
speaker notes are provided.
• Organize content with clear purpose/goals and with relevant
and evidence-based sources (published within 5 years) with
an APA formatted reference list with few errors.
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.
• 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 three sources of
scholarly or professional evidence that support your central
ideas. Resources should be no more than 5 years old. See
the Bachelor of Nursing (BSN) Program Library Guide.
• APA formatting: Make sure that in-text citations on your
slides and notes pages, and your reference list are in current
APA style. See the APA Module.
