Develop And Record A 10-15 Slide, Asynchronous, Audiovisual Presentation

Develop and record a 10-15 slide, asynchronous, audiovisual presentation for policymakers, soliciting resource and policy support for the community health care system change you proposed in the previous assessment.

Introduction

Nurse leaders must be able to make effective financial and policy decisions. Equally important is the ability to communicate their vision for change to policymakers and provide objective, evidence-based support for their position with respect to the regulatory, political, social, ethical, legal, and financial aspects of systemic change.- DETAILED SPEAKER NOTE

This assessment provides an opportunity to develop a presentation aimed at soliciting resource and policy support for the community health care change you proposed in Assessment 3.

Preparation

The executive leaders at Vila Health accepted your change proposal and would like to move it forward. However, lasting change in a volatile regulatory and policy environment will require adequate funding and support from the applicable governing body or regulatory agency. Consequently, you have been asked to present the proposed change to policymakers to seek their support and funding for the change as an established policy for the organization and community.

To prepare for this assessment, you are encouraged to begin thinking about funding and securing policy support for lasting change. In addition, you may wish to:

  • Review the assessment requirements and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work you will be asked to complete.
  • Review Guiding Questions: Advocating for Lasting Change [DOCX], which includes questions to consider and additional guidance on how to successfully complete the assessment.
  • Be sure that your audiovisual equipment works and that you know how to record and upload your presentation.

MSN PROGRAM JOURNEY

Please review this guide for your degree program. It can help you stay on track for your practice immersion experience, so you may wish to bookmark it for later reference.

AUDIOVISUAL EQUIPMENT SETUP AND TESTING

It is a good idea to check that your recording hardware and software is working properly and that you are familiar with its use as you will make a video recording of your presentation. You may use Kaltura Media or other technology of your choice for your video recording.

  • If using Kaltura Media, refer to the Using Kaltura tutorial for directions on recording and uploading your video in the courseroom.

You may use Microsoft PowerPoint or other suitable presentation software to create your slides. If you elect to use an application other than PowerPoint, check with your faculty to avoid potential file compatibility issues.

Note: If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in this activity, please contact DisabilityServices@Capella.edu to request accommodations.

Requirements

Develop and record a video presentation for policymakers from the appropriate governing body or regulatory agency requesting policy and financial support for your proposed change. Draw on your work in the previous assessments and consolidate lessons learned.

The presentation requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide, so be sure to address each point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. The Guiding Questions: Advocating for Lasting Change document provides additional considerations that may be helpful in completing your assessment. In addition, be sure to note the requirements below for the presentation format, length, and for citing supporting evidence.

  • Explain why proposed changes to a health care system require policy and financial support to ensure positive, systemic change and to overcome present challenges.
  • Provide compelling evidence that proposed changes to a health care system will produce the intended outcomes.
  • Provide broad budget estimates to fund specific capital or human resource outlays that are important to the success of a proposed change.
  • Outline a plan for leading transformational, evidence-based change in an organization.
  • Assess the potential future for wellness, health, and improved overall care and the role of visionary leaders in achieving the desired goals.
  • Cultivate stakeholder interest in and support for the proposed changes to a community health care system.
  • Develop slides that augment a multimedia presentation.
  • Argue persuasively to obtain policy and financial support from policymakers for a proposed community health care change.
  • Support assertions, arguments, propositions, and conclusions with relevant and credible evidence.
