intro: Knowing who to include in your project plan presentation is important. Is your plan focused on an organization, a patient population, or a community? The purpose of the project will guide identification of the population. Who are the stakeholders? Are they patients? Health and human services providers, government officials, influencers, workers whose jobs are impacted by the proposed plan? Community activists? Or affected local businesses? (Harris et al., 2023). These are all important considerations as you plan your presentation for stakeholders. 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 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 activity will help promote success in the Stakeholder Presentation assessment and demonstrate courseroom engagementit requires just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.

Professional Context: This assessment is an opportunity to sharpen your ability to create a professional presentation for stakeholders. By using this presentation, the stakeholders will have tools to expand on these ideas in their workplace, and to drive change and improve processes to solve an interprofessional collaboration problem. Overview: This two-part assessment focuses on developing and presenting an interdisciplinary plan proposal to address an organizational or patient care issue. You will first create a comprehensive plan using a structured template, then develop a professional PowerPoint presentation designed to generate stakeholder buy-in and support for your proposal. Leadership and collaboration are critical aspects of nursing practice. This assessment provides an opportunity to demonstrate effective leadership skills and interprofessional collaboration by creating an evidence-based plan that could drive meaningful change in a healthcare setting. You will think critically about project implementation, resource management, and evaluation strategiesessential components of successful healthcare improvement initiatives. Your presentation will serve as an educational and persuasive tool that stakeholders can use to expand on your ideas, drive organizational change, and improve processes related to interprofessional collaboration. While you will not execute the project, carefully examining implementation and evaluation strategies will develop the critical thinking skills required for leading healthcare improvement efforts. Your presentation should be tailored for stakeholders at a specific healthcare organization, with language and messaging appropriate for leaders and decision-makers who will evaluate and potentially approve your proposal. Prepare: Before beginning this assessment, consider the following: Complete this assessment’s Evidence-Based Practice: Basics and Guidelines activity (optional but encouraged). This six-question activity will help you check your understanding of evidence-based practice fundamentals and identify EBP in practice. It takes just a few minutes and will promote your success in this assessment. Review the Capella Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations [PPTX] to ensure your slides are professional and visually effective. For more information review the Capella University Library: PowerPoint Presentations. Familiarize yourself with the Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal Template [DOCX] that you will use for Part 1. Reflect on these key questions: How do organizational leaders impact project success, sustain practice change, and share evidence-based findings? Which technologies might help evaluate a project’s impact within a healthcare system? Who are the relevant stakeholders for your proposed plan (patients, healthcare providers, administrators, community members, etc.)? Gather evidence-based sources published within the past five years that support your proposed plan and approach. Instructions: This assessment consists of two interconnected parts that must be submitted together. Part 1: Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal (Template) Using the Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal Template [DOCX], create a comprehensive plan that addresses an organizational or patient care issue through an interdisciplinary team approach. Template Completion Guidelines: Complete each section of the template thoroughly and concisely. Apply APA format to all in-text citations for evidence and best practices that inform your plan. Include an APA-formatted reference list at the end of the template. A title page is optional since you are using a template. Your plan proposal should address: The specific organizational or patient issue requiring attention. Why an interdisciplinary team approach is most appropriate for this issue. Evidence-based strategies and interventions to address the issue. Implementation considerations and resource requirements. Evaluation criteria and success metrics. Part 2: Stakeholder Presentation (PowerPoint) Create an 812 slide PowerPoint presentation designed to generate interest and buy-in from stakeholder or leadership groups for your interdisciplinary plan proposal. Presentation Structure: Your presentation should include the following components (use one or two slides per section as needed): Part 1: Organizational or Patient Issue Explain the issue you are trying to solve or improve. Articulate why the audience should care about addressing this issue. Describe how a collaborative interdisciplinary team approach would help achieve a specific improvement goal. Part 2: Relevance of an Interdisciplinary Team Approach Justify why using an interdisciplinary team is relevant or the best approach. Explain how this approach will help achieve improved outcomes or reach the goal. Part 3: Interdisciplinary Plan Summary Summarize your evidence-based interdisciplinary plan. State the objective clearly. Discuss the likelihood of success. Describe what the interdisciplinary team will do. Part 4: Implementation and Resource Management Explain how the interdisciplinary plan could be implemented. Describe how human and financial resources would be managed. Explain how the plan ensures effective use of resources and prevents waste. Justify the resource expenditure. Part 5: Evaluation Propose evidence-based criteria to evaluate the degree to which the project achieves the improvement goal. Describe what a successful outcome would look like. Explain how these criteria could measure and demonstrate the degree of success. Part 6: References Include a final reference slide in APA format. Presentation Development Guidelines: Create slides that are easy to read, visually appealing, and error-free. Use concise talking points on slides (bullet points, not full sentences). Include detailed speaker notes that flesh out the bullet points on each slide. Remember that another person may ultimately deliver this presentation, so your speaker notes should be comprehensive. Organize content with clear purpose and goals. Support your content with relevant, evidence-based sources. Tailor language and messaging to your specific stakeholder audience. Both parts must be submitted together: Submit your completed Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal Template AND your PowerPoint Presentation. Additional requirements: PowerPoint Specifications: Slide count: 812 content slides (not including title and reference slides). Speaker notes: Include thorough speaker notes for each content slide. Visual design: Follow Capella Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations. Technical assistance: If needed, refer to Capella University Library: PowerPoint Presentations. Source Requirements: Minimum of three sources of scholarly or professional evidence. Sources must be published within the past 5 years. See the Bachelor of Nursing (BSN) Program Library Guide for assistance. APA Formatting: Apply current APA style to in-text citations on slides and in speaker notes. Include an APA-formatted reference list on the final slide of your presentation. Include an APA-formatted reference list at the end of your template. See the APA Module for formatting guidance.
