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.
Collapse AllIntroduction
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.

Professional Context
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.
Overview
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.
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 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.
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 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.
