Deliver to the interprofessional team a presentation (20 minutes; 12-15 slides)

Deliver to the interprofessional team a presentation (20 minutes; 12-15 slides) that analyzes an existing workplace
quality improvement initiative related to a specific disease, condition, or public health issue of interest. The
presentation’s purpose is to inform and get buy-in from the interprofessional team.
Introduction
Too often, discussions about quality health care, care costs, and outcome measures take place in isolation—various
groups talking among themselves about results and enhancements. Nurses are critical to the delivery of high-quality,
efficient health care. As a result, they must develop their skills in reviewing and evaluating performance reports.
They also need to be able to communicate outcome measures related to quality initiatives effectively. Patient safety
and positive institutional health care outcomes mandate collaboration among nursing staff members to ensure the
integration of their perspectives in all quality care initiatives.
In this assessment, you will have the opportunity to analyze a quality improvement initiative in your workplace. You
will then present your analysis to a group of nurses and other health care professionals. The purpose of your
presentation is to inform and enlist support for the initiative from your audience.
Preparation
Quality Initiative Selection
In this assessment you will deliver an analysis of an ongoing quality improvement initiative in your workplace. The
initiative you analyze must relate to a specific disease, condition, or public health issue of personal or professional
interest to you. The purpose of your analysis is to assess whether specific quality indicators point to improved
patient safety, quality of care, cost and efficiency goals, and other desired metrics. Your audience consists of nurses
and selected health care professionals with specializations or interest in your selected condition, disease, or issue.
You hope to inform and garner support for the initiative from your audience.
