Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations
Introduction
One concern about visual presentations is that the technology used to create them can be used in such a way that it actually detracts from the message rather than enhances it. To help you consider carefully how your message is presented so that it reflects care, quality, and professionalism, consider the information provided in the remaining slides.
NOTE: This presentation serves as an example in itself, by utilizing all of the guidelines mentioned.

**Introduction**
As a practicing professional, you are likely to present educational in-services or training to staff pertaining to quality improvement (QI) measures of safety improvement interventions. Such in-services and training sessions should be presented in a creative and innovative manner to hold the audience’s attention and promote knowledge acquisition and skill application that changes practice for the better. The teaching sessions may include a presentation, audience participation via simulation or other interactive strategy, audiovisual media, and participant learning evaluation.
The use of in-services and/or training sessions has positive implications for nursing practice by increasing staff confidence when providing care to specific patient populations. It also allows for a safe and nonthreatening environment where staff nurses can practice their skills prior to a real patient event. Participation in learning sessions fosters a team approach, collaboration, patient safety, and greater patient satisfaction rates in the healthcare environment (Patel & Wright, 2018).
As you prepare to complete the assessment, consider the impact of in-service training on patient outcomes as well as practice outcomes for staff nurses. Be sure to support your thoughts on the effectiveness of educating and training staff to increase the quality of care provided to patients by examining the literature and established best practices.
You are encouraged to explore the AONL (American Organization of Nursing Leadership) Nurse Executive Competencies Review activity before you develop the Improvement Plan In-Service Presentation. This activity will help you review your understanding of the AONL Nurse Executive Competencies—especially those related to competencies relevant to developing an effective training session and presentation. This is for your own practice and self-assessment, and demonstrates your engagement in the course.

**Overview**
As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will often find yourself in a position to lead and educate other nurses. This colleague-to-colleague education can take many forms, from mentoring to informal explanations on best practices to formal in-service training. In-services are an effective way to train a large group. Preparing to run an in-service may be daunting, as the facilitator must develop their message around the topic while designing activities to help the target audience learn and practice. By improving understanding and competence around designing and delivering in-service training, a BSN practitioner can demonstrate leadership and prove to be a valuable resource to others.
For this assessment,
**build on the work that you have done in your first two assessments** and create an agenda and PowerPoint of an educational in-service session that would help a specific staff audience learn, provide feedback, and understand their roles and practice new skills
**related to the safety improvement plan you created**.
**Instructions**
Develop a PowerPoint presentation with detailed speaker's notes representing the material you would deliver at a one-hour in-service session to raise awareness of your chosen safety improvement initiative and explain the need for it. Additionally, you must educate the audience as to their role and importance to the success of the initiative. This includes providing examples and practice opportunities to test out new ideas or practices related to the safety improvement initiative.
Be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the rubric. Please study the rubric carefully so that you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.
· Describe the purpose and at least three goals of an in-service session for nurses.
· Include a one-line purpose statement followed by the goals.
· Start each goal with a verb, such as 1) Explain reasons for medication administration errors, 2) Discuss the importance of preventing medication errors, and 3) Describe strategies to prevent medication errors.
· Explain the need for and process to improve safety outcomes related to a specific patient-safety issue.
· Explain to the audience their role and the importance of making the improvement plan successful.
· Create resources or activities to encourage skill development and process understanding related to a safety improvement initiative.
· Create a resource slide OR do an activity with the audience to assist them in learning and applying a new skill. A resource slide could consist of in-house materials, posters, or credible websites. An activity slide may include a quiz, simulation, group work, a case study, and so forth.
· Communicate with nurses in a respectful and informative way that clearly presents expectations and solicits feedback on communication strategies for future improvement.
There are various ways to structure an in-service session; below is just one example:
·
**Part 1: Agenda and Outcomes.**
· Explain to your audience what they are going to learn or do, and what they are expected to take away.
·
**Part 2: Safety Improvement Plan.**
· Give an overview of the current problem, the proposed plan, and what the improvement plan is trying to address.
· Explain why it is important for the organization to address the current situation.
·
**Part 3: Audience’s Role and Importance.**
· Discuss how the staff audience will be expected to help implement and drive the improvement plan.
· Explain why they are critical to the success of the improvement plan.
· Describe how their work could benefit from embracing their role in the plan.
·
**Part 4: New Process and Skills Practice.**
· Explain new processes or skills.
· Develop an activity that allows the staff audience to practice and ask questions about these.
· In the notes section, brainstorm potential responses to likely questions or concerns.
·
**Part 5: Soliciting Feedback.**
· Describe how you would solicit feedback from the audience on the improvement plan and the in-service.
· Explain how you might integrate this feedback for future improvements.
Remember to account for activity and discussion time.
**Additional Requirements**
·
**Presentation length:** There is no required length; use just enough slides to address all the necessary elements. Remember to use short, concise bullet points on the slides and expand on your points in the speaker's notes. If you use 2 or 3 slides to address each of the parts in the above example, your presentation would be at least 10 slides and no more than 15 slides (not including the title, conclusion, or references slide).
· For PowerPoint help, see
[Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations [PPTX]](https://lat.strategiced.com/redirect?linkid=3639) and the
[Capella University Library: PowerPoint Presentations](http://capellauniversity.libguides.com/powerpoint).
·
**Speaker notes**: Speaker notes (located under each slide) should reflect what you would actually say if you were delivering the presentation to an audience. This presentation does NOT require audio or a transcript. Another presenter would be able to use the presentation by following the speaker's notes.
·
**APA format:** Use APA formatting for in-text citations. Include an APA-formatted reference slide at the end of your presentation. See
[APA Module](https://lat.strategiced.com/redirect?linkid=2586).
·
**Number of references:** Cite a minimum of three sources of scholarly or professional evidence to support your assertions. Resources should be no more than five years old. Use the

· Communicate with nurses in a respectful and informative way that clearly presents expectations and solicits feedback on communication strategies for future improvement.
There are various ways to structure an in-service session; below is just one example:
·
**Part 1: Agenda and Outcomes.**
· Explain to your audience what they are going to learn or do, and what they are expected to take away.
·
**Part 2: Safety Improvement Plan.**
· Give an overview of the current problem, the proposed plan, and what the improvement plan is trying to address.
· Explain why it is important for the organization to address the current situation.
·
**Part 3: Audience’s Role and Importance.**
· Discuss how the staff audience will be expected to help implement and drive the improvement plan.
· Explain why they are critical to the success of the improvement plan.
· Describe how their work could benefit from embracing their role in the plan.
·
**Part 4: New Process and Skills Practice.**
· Explain new processes or skills.
· Develop an activity that allows the staff audience to practice and ask questions about these.
· In the notes section, brainstorm potential responses to likely questions or concerns.
·
**Part 5: Soliciting Feedback.**
· Describe how you would solicit feedback from the audience on the improvement plan and the in-service.
· Explain how you might integrate this feedback for future improvements.
Remember to account for activity and discussion time.
**Additional Requirements**
·
**Presentation length:** There is no required length; use just enough slides to address all the necessary elements. Remember to use short, concise bullet points on the slides and expand on your points in the speaker's notes. If you use 2 or 3 slides to address each of the parts in the above example, your presentation would be at least 10 slides and no more than 15 slides (not including the title, conclusion, or references slide).

**Introduction**
As a practicing professional, you are likely to present educational in-services or training to staff pertaining to quality improvement (QI) measures of safety improvement interventions. Such in-services and training sessions should be presented in a creative and innovative manner to hold the audience’s attention and promote knowledge acquisition and skill application that changes practice for the better. The teaching sessions may include a presentation, audience participation via simulation or other interactive strategy, audiovisual media, and participant learning evaluation.
The use of in-services and/or training sessions has positive implications for nursing practice by increasing staff confidence when providing care to specific patient populations. It also allows for a safe and nonthreatening environment where staff nurses can practice their skills prior to a real patient event. Participation in learning sessions fosters a team approach, collaboration, patient safety, and greater patient satisfaction rates in the healthcare environment (Patel & Wright, 2018).
As you prepare to complete the assessment, consider the impact of in-service training on patient outcomes as well as practice outcomes for staff nurses. Be sure to support your thoughts on the effectiveness of educating and training staff to increase the quality of care provided to patients by examining the literature and established best practices.
You are encouraged to explore the AONL (American Organization of Nursing Leadership) Nurse Executive Competencies Review activity before you develop the Improvement Plan In-Service Presentation. This activity will help you review your understanding of the AONL Nurse Executive Competencies—especially those related to competencies relevant to developing an effective training session and presentation. This is for your own practice and self-assessment, and demonstrates your engagement in the course.

**Overview**
As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will often find yourself in a position to lead and educate other nurses. This colleague-to-colleague education can take many forms, from mentoring to informal explanations on best practices to formal in-service training. In-services are an effective way to train a large group. Preparing to run an in-service may be daunting, as the facilitator must develop their message around the topic while designing activities to help the target audience learn and practice. By improving understanding and competence around designing and delivering in-service training, a BSN practitioner can demonstrate leadership and prove to be a valuable resource to others.
For this assessment,
**build on the work that you have done in your first two assessments** and create an agenda and PowerPoint of an educational in-service session that would help a specific staff audience learn, provide feedback, and understand their roles and practice new skills
**related to the safety improvement plan you created**.
**Instructions**
Develop a PowerPoint presentation with detailed speaker's notes representing the material you would deliver at a one-hour in-service session to raise awareness of your chosen safety improvement initiative and explain the need for it. Additionally, you must educate the audience as to their role and importance to the success of the initiative. This includes providing examples and practice opportunities to test out new ideas or practices related to the safety improvement initiative.
Be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the rubric. Please study the rubric carefully so that you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.
· Describe the purpose and at least three goals of an in-service session for nurses.
· Include a one-line purpose statement followed by the goals.
· Start each goal with a verb, such as 1) Explain reasons for medication administration errors, 2) Discuss the importance of preventing medication errors, and 3) Describe strategies to prevent medication errors.
· Explain the need for and process to improve safety outcomes related to a specific patient-safety issue.
· Explain to the audience their role and the importance of making the improvement plan successful.
