nformatted Attachment PreviewAssessment 4 Instructions: Stakeholder Presentation For
this assessment you will 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. 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 • • • • • • Discussion:

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. Discussion: Interdisciplinary Healthcare Plan PresentationBy
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

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. Running head: INTERDISCIPLINARY PLAN PROPOSAL Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal
Yailin Mur Fernandez NURS-FPX4010 Capella University October 13, 2020 1
INTERDISCIPLINARY PLAN PROPOSAL 2 Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal The critical review
of the information provided by the United IT Manager showed that the organization
urgently needs to identify and install clinical decision support (CDS) to meet the needs of
patients through better care coordination and strengthen interdisciplinary collaborations.
Therefore, the goal is to present a comprehensive plan that illustrates how its
implementation would result in the effective use of evidence-based practice measures to
improve patient outcomes. Objective The objective of this interdisciplinary plan for United
Healthcare is the integration of a CDS into the organization’s information technology
infrastructure to address the documentation, information exchange, and care coordination
issues that impact patient outcomes adversely. Hence, the goal is to present a specific,
measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely framework that is consistent with United
Healthcare’s mission of delivering quality and affordable healthcare services to diverse
patient populations. Questions and Predictions 1. Whether the clinical decision system will
result in improved patient outcomes and employee commitment to the delivery of quality
care? a. A clinical decision support system generates relevant information and specific
clinical data that nurses, physicians, and other healthcare practitioners need to diagnose
and administer the right interventions and treatments to patients. Discussion:
Interdisciplinary Healthcare Plan PresentationIt is also a health informatics tool that
supports the organizational and individual goals of the timely identification and utilization
of evidence-based practices for eliminating all types of patient safety issues, including
medication errors. INTERDISCIPLINARY PLAN PROPOSAL 3 2. What are the potentials of
the clinical decision system to improve interdisciplinary collaborations? b. Clinical decision
support systems enhance the performances of members of the interdisciplinary team
through their timely access to the specific medical records during the transition of care and
other aspects of the treatment. Also, this health information technology solution eliminates
communication issues, data integration challenges, and knowledge sharing that
practitioners and providers need to make informed decisions on the treatment or
management strategies for their patients. 3. What are the likely barriers to the
implementation of the clinical decision system at United Healthcare? c. Despite the immense
potentials of CDS to improve care coordination, improve patient outcomes, and eliminate
some of the issues during the transition of care from one unit to the other, United
Healthcare must recognize some of the barriers to its effective implementation. In this
regard, multiple studies showed that organizational culture, patient behavior and
perception, employee apathy, and cost are some of the barriers to the efficient deployment

of health informatics, including CDS. Change Theories and Leadership Strategies Kurt
Lewin’s Three-Stage Model of Change is considered appropriate for the deployment of a
clinical decision support system to United Healthcare because its framework consists of the
processes for identifying the factors that would result in its successful implementation.
According to Udod and Wagner (2018), Lewin’s change theory is based on the principle of
INTERDISCIPLINARY PLAN PROPOSAL 4 replacing previous knowledge and practices with
new and relevant one that allows the identification of the driving forces for organizational
improvements. They further added that the theoretical framework is also useful for stable
environments where change agents can achieve a balance between the positive and
negative forces for modifying processes. In this regard, the unfreezing stage of the model
would be used for influencing the attitudinal and behavioral changes among the workers
and acceptance of the new technology-based methods for delivering care to patients.
Additionally, the change phase is highly critical for identifying and implementing processes
that support the adoption of the changes and practice methods that leverage the potentials
of the clinical decision support system. As Udod et al. (2018) noted, the stage empowers the
change agent to illustrate individual and organizational CDS benefits, describe the methods
for working with others to effect the changes, and gain relevant support from management.
Finally, the refreezing stage of Lewin’s theory is another reason why it is relevant to United
Healthcare’s goal of utilizing health informatics because it entrenches the impacts of the
CDS on patient outcomes and other quality metrics that were achieved during
implementation. Meanwhile, it is critical for the change management group to combine the
principles of transformational leadership with those provided by the change model to
achieve the desired results. It is also a leadership strategy that focuses on the importance of
the changes to both the team and organizations and encourages the provision of the
resources for implementing two critical stages of the change model. Aside from its
relationship with the provision of resources, the transformational approach is relevant for
gaining the support and commitment of the various interdisciplinary teams due to their
increased understanding of the requirements for removing both the individual and
organizational barriers (Wright et al. 2018). Therefore, the most INTERDISCIPLINARY
PLAN PROPOSAL 5 appropriate leadership strategy to leverage the benefits of Lewin’s
Change Theory to the implementation of the interdisciplinary plan for United Healthcare.
Team Collaboration Strategy The implementation of this interdisciplinary plan requires a
core team to perform certain roles that demonstrate the significance of collaboration to the
project. In this regard, the project requires a project manager who is responsible for the
overall supervision, coordination, and execution of all the activities for the deployment of
the CDS. This function would be supported by an IT manager and trainers that would be
responsible for the management of the technical components and user education and
management, respectively (Greenes et al., 2018). Regarding the team collaboration
strategies, knowledge management is considered as the most appropriate one because it
permits the attitudinal and behavioral changes that the clinical and non-clinical employees
of United Healthcare need to adopt and utilize the CDS system during and after its
integration into its information technology infrastructure. Hence, the team collaboration
approach for the integration of the CDS is the identification and assignment of functions and

utilization of the right knowledge management methods to achieve its objectives. Required
Organizational Resources As a health informatics project, United Healthcare’s management
must provide financial and material support to execute its various stages. First, funds are
needed for procuring hardware and software components for the project to ensure the
proper integration of the new system into the old ones. It is estimated that the total cost of
this aspect of the project is $50,000. Second, the company needs to provide an additional
$5,000 for the training and education of the clinical and non-clinical staff for the use of the
new CDS system. Overall, the estimated cost for the successful implementation of this
project is $55,000. Therefore, it implies that the leadership of INTERDISCIPLINARY PLAN
PROPOSAL this healthcare organization must approve the procurement of the relevant
technical and nontechnical resources to accomplish its vision, manage its workforce, deliver
expected patient outcomes, and achieve both its tactical and strategic financial goals. 6
