PRESENTATION DESIGN

Being able to effectively address any audience is a necessary leadership skill. Remember that you are the speaker, not a projectionist. Your purpose is not to present a slide show. Your audience is there to listen to what you have to say, not read your slides—or worse, listen to you read them. Design your presentation slides to compliment and reinforce your message and engage your listeners.

The following tips will help you create presentation slides that work to your advantage:

  • Focus on the content of your presentation and the development of your main points. Remember that your purpose is to deliver a message on ethics that is clear, well organized, and engaging.
  • Consider your intended audience and how best to communicate effectively with them.

  • Policy Change in Health Care Proposal

  • Policy Change in Health Care Proposal

  • Create slides that support your presentation. They should not be your presentation.
    • Use a professional presentation template, or one used in your organization.
    • Ensure that your slide background provides sufficient visual contrast for your text and graphics.
    • Avoid filling your slides with text. Use speaker notes to record the details you want to communicate to your audience.
    • Be judicious in your use of bulleted lists. Consider a separate slide for each point.
    • Use images and graphics, when appropriate, to illustrate information and make your points. Presentation slides are a visual medium. Images are more effective than text at capturing viewers’ attention.
    • Avoid using images that are simply decorative. They can be a visual distraction and do not contribute to your message.
    • Avoid using flashy slide transitions and animations. They can be both distracting and annoying. Keep your slide transitions consistent throughout the presentation.
    • Add a slide to the end of your presentation to prompt questions from the audience.

    AUDIO RECORDING

    As a health care administrator, you are expected to connect with your peers to address and solve health care issues. For this assessment, submit your presentation with recorded audio of you presenting your PowerPoint to key stakeholders in your audience.

That will help the hospital to keep records of the organization. Hence that will improve the organization to provide better services to the patients and those who are in need. The importance of benchmarking is to help compare the performance of both the internal and external sectors. This will help to improve the facilitators to conduct improvement in their various places hence the members can work effectively and improve on places of work. In order to achieve standardized results, I did benchmark both internally and externally. Policy Change in Health Care Proposal
Therefore this will help to collect data so as to help in comparing with others. Benchmarking will help the organization to adopt new things other organizations are embracing. Therefore our organization through benchmarking will help to align our employees, resources and our internal systems so as to meet our main objectives. So by creating the dashboard one can track early problems so as to make adjustments any case of any problem. Through the formation of the performance dashboard, our organization will keep track of important matters that are affecting the company. This will able to provide with the most important issues of the organization. The dashboard will help the company to improve its service and compete with others internationally. Dashboards play significant roles in an organization such as it increases your awareness of the variables (Dowding, 2015). When variables are not set in the database you may lose track because of the number of patients that we serve. Another reason is that it will reduce variations in that, all patients in the facility are able to receive proper care and able to standardize all the values across the facility. Hence this will improve customer POLICY CHANGE IN HEALTH CARE 3 efficiency. Similarly, they will able to identify the trends and patterns in that when data is kept in a central place the organization can you can easily interconnect with other departments. Also, see the members who are working and those not so as to make effective changes in the company. Therefore by creating the dashboard system, we can easily get reliable data which help the managers to achieve their goals (Ghazisaeidi, 2015). The numeric score of performance that was good in the eagle creek hospital .this will greatly improve on the services and achieve its main goal. Changes have to be done in order to rectify the previous mistake that was done to ensure system delivery. Therefore better adjustments have to be done in the system so as to correct the mistakes. The numeric score of the underperformance of the hospital according to the benchmarking was 16 %. This was achieved through the information the patients concluded. Hence the company managers were top trying to make changes that happened previously and improve their services. Performance of the hospital was to be achieved through standardization and equality .therefore the patient care should be the same across the facility for all the patients to enjoy. Hence by not making any changes in the system is going to delay the system delivery of the hospital because they will not have patients to attend to. This paper is going to analyze benchmarking strategies and the importance of dashboards in hospital organizations. Also, it discusses the limitations and performance that has been happening there before. Ethical, Evidence-Based Strategies In order to improve the performance in a health organization, cultural diversity and age must improve. Hence cultural diversity happens to be the most crucial factor that has to be implemented in any organization. Therefore In order to improve the healthcare services of the POLICY CHANGE IN HEALTH CARE 4 facility, we must find amicable solutions to ethical values. Policy Change in Health Care Proposal
Like the facility should improve in supporting nurse ethics. This will help the nurses to follow the rules and regulations of the ANA code of ethics. Hospitals should incorporate behavior as the first thing before being employed. Similarly, a unit based on ethics to be included in that, nurses should at least learn the importance of being ethical. To achieve this, the hospital should employ mentors who could help in teaching their colleagues on the importance of ethics. Ethical strategies will help the health organization to find good solutions that will help the organization to grow. Hence the staffing that was to be employed must have good skills in handling patients (Jiménez-López, 2016).Therefore plan has to be set which will ensure the services have improved despite any cultural diversity. Equally, cultural competence has to be addressed so as to improve the ethical goals. Environmental Strategies to Improve Health Sector The facility should incorporate the environmental factors that will help the hospital to offer better services to the community. Eagle creek hospital main goal is to offer safety and quality to its patient’s .therefore the hospital should be built in an environment-friendly area. When a hospital is built in a good area the patients cannot contract extra diseases. Those environment factors include air pollution noise and many others. Hence when all those observations are made the hospital can achieve its goal. Equally, the safety of the patients should be the key thing one must get; a patient should always stay in a cool place to get peace of mind. Patients also should also get quality services failure to do that you could have failed the patients. Therefore the safety and quality are the main factors a hospital must have so as to ensure its goal achieved (Shamian, 2016). POLICY CHANGE IN HEALTH CARE 5 Also, the Eagle creek hospital has greatly incorporated with other local hospitals and local government so they have shared responsibility so as to achieve goals as far as health issues are concerned .the local governments are in charge of funding initiates that have been started by the hospital so as to help patients from the surrounding. The local government should aid and provide guild lines that will help patients to get better medical services. After all those bodies working together they can be able to achieve the objectives and goals concerning health. Also in order to achieve better goals, other bodies should be included during the benchmarking process .such bodies include staffing logistics and clinicians. In conclusion, benchmarking is a critical thing to conduct hence it needs a lot of attention and time .benchmarking will help the organization to learn from other facilities so as to incorporate new things in the system. Therefore by doing all that will ensure all services in Eagle creek hospital have greatly improved. Although the hospital has been performing well the changes must be done and incorporated according to the benchmarking done. So by eliminating the failures and errors, the facility can achieve its targeted goal and objectives.
