Homework: Resource Expenditure Paper

For this homework you will create an 8 to 12 slides 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.

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 course room engagement-it requires just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.

Demonstration of Proficiency

I. Competency I: Explain strategies for managing human and financial resources to promote organizational health.

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

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

II. Competency II: Explain how interdisciplinary collaboration can be used to achieve desired patient and systems outcomes.

III. Competency III: Describe ways to incorporate evidence-based practice within an interdisciplinary team.

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

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

IV. Competency IV: Apply professional, scholarly, evidence-based communication strategies to impact patient, interdisciplinary team, and systems outcomes.

1. Slides are easy to read and error free. Detailed speaker notes are provided.

2. 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.

Professional Context

This homework 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. By 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 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.

Instructions

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?
