Assessment 4 Instructions: Interdisciplinary Presentation of Evidence-Based Recommendations

Create and deliver a slide presentation (8-12 slides; 3-5 minutes maximum presentation) on the analysis of a selected
health care problem that includes evidence-based recommendations. Your submission needs to include a narrated
webcam recording, using your PowerPoint slides and speaker notes, which serve as a transcript.
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 a proposed
evidence-based solution.
Most importantly, the health care leader must craft a message that is aligned with organizational mission and
strategy, based upon sound analysis and data, and includes 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 the selected health care problem. You will demonstrate a flow of logic and analysis by
following a slide presentation outline template. In the presentation you will carry forward the work already
completed in Assessment 3. Specifically you will cover the following in your presentation:
State the problem.

Identify clearly the relevant factors or performance indicators and associated units of measurement.
Describe the application of an appropriate analysis tool to the problem.
Offer insights and evidence-based recommendations.
As you prepare for this webcam presentation, keep the imaginary audience in mind. It is comprised of a diverse
senior leadership team at the selected organization. The team represents a variety of ages, cultures, and
perspectives. You will communicate your presentation in a concise, professional, and culturally competent manner.
The goal is to persuade the senior leadership team to implement the evidence-based recommendations
presented. Consider that two senior leadership team members may be evaluating you as a high potential candidate
for a promotion. Good luck! It is time to construct your presentation.

Slides
Review Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations [PPTX] for a refresher on how to create compelling,
visually appealing slides that capture the audience’s attention.
Download and study the Final PowerPoint Template [PPTX] for a suggested structure for the slides. Using the
slide template will help to keep your presentation within the maximum 3 to 5 minute presentation time frame.
Practice Video Recording the Presentation
After developing slides and preparing your speaker notes, practice delivering the presentation multiple times via
screen and webcam recording before making the final webcam recording for submission. Practicing your
presentation multiple times will make the presentation more polished and professional. Likewise, multiple dry runs
will also help you adhere to the 3 to 5 minute maximum presentation length. Before submitting the presentation,
make sure the recording is audible, the slides are visible, and that you are included in a video capture.
Consult the Using Kaltura [PDF] for additional guidance on how to record the presentation.
Instructions
Use the Final PowerPoint [PPTX] template to create a 3–5 minute recorded PowerPoint presentation of 8–12
preformatted slides. The template provides the outline of what you need to cover in the presentation. The goal of
this assessment is to communicate essential elements of your analysis in a succinct manner. A 3- to 5-minute
presentation may not seem long, but it is the reality in today’s health care workplace. Busy executives will not be
able to spare more time than this. The presentation is for interdepartmental senior leadership team viewing.
Be sure to include visual summaries of your data, such as a pie chart or graph. The summarized data visual display
should be in a readable format in a Word document or spreadsheet. It is important to include specific titles for the
data summaries that identify the subject matter and measurement units.
