Homework: Nursing Critical Research Appraisal

For this homework, 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 homework.

In addition to summarizing the key points of Homework, 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 homework, it is important to keep in mind the target audience: your interviewee's organizational leadership. The overall goal of this homework is to create a presentation that your interviewee could potentially give in his or her organization.
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 understand what is needed for a distinguished score.

I. Explain an organizational or patient issue for which a collaborative interdisciplinary team approach would help achieve a specific improvement goal.

II. Summarize an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to address an organizational or patient issue.

III. Explain how the interdisciplinary plan could be implemented and how the human and financial resources would be managed.

IV. Propose evidence-based criteria that could be used to evaluate the degree to which the project was successful in achieving the improvement goal.

V. Communicate the PowerPoint presentation of the interdisciplinary improvement plan to stakeholders in a professional manner, with writing that is clear, logically organized, and respectful with correct grammar and spelling using current APA style.

There are various ways to structure your presentation; following is one example:

I. Part I: Organizational or Patient Issue.

1. What is the issue that you are trying to solve or improve?
2. Why should the audience care about solving it?

II. Part II: Relevance of an Interdisciplinary Team Approach.

1. Why is using an interdisciplinary team relevant, or the best approach, to addressing the issue?
2. How will it help to achieve improved outcomes or reach a goal?

III. Part III: Interdisciplinary Plan Summary.

1. What is the objective?
2. How likely is it to work?
3. What will the interdisciplinary team do?

IV. Part IV: Implementation and Resource Management.

1. How could the plan be implemented to ensure effective use of resources?
2. How could the plan be managed to ensure that resources were not wasted?
3. How does the plan justify the resource expenditure?

V. Part V: Evaluation.

1. What would a successful outcome of the project look like?
2. What are the criteria that could be used to measure that success?
3. 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.
