Directions

1. Create an educational presentation for staff before the launch of your change project. This should inform the staff of the problem, your potential solution, and their role in change project.
2. The format for this proposal will be a PowerPoint presentation.
3. The length of the PowerPoint presentation should be 15-20 slides; excluding the title and reference slides.
4. Below are the topics for the slides:
5. Title slide
6. Description of the change model used
7. PICO question—include the elements
8. Scope of the problem—use statistics
9. Your team/stakeholders
10. Evidence to support your need for change—from research
11. Action Plan
12. Timeline for the plan
13. The nurses role and responsibility in the pilot program
14. Procedure
15. Forms that will be used (if applicable)
16. Resources available to the staff—including yourself
17. Summary
18. References
19. Citations and References must be included to support the information within each topic area. Refer to the APA manual, Chapter 7, for examples of proper reference format. Citations are to be noted for all information contained in your paper that is not your original idea or thought. Ask yourself, “How do I know this?” and then cite the source. Scholarly sources are expected, which means choose peer-reviewed journals and credible websites.

• Late Submission: See the course policy on late submissions.
• Tutorial: If needed, Microsoft Office has many templates and tutorials to help you get started.

Best Practices in Preparing a PowerPoint Presentation

The following are best practices in preparing this project.

1. Slides should be easy to read with short bullet points and large font. Do not use paragraphs.
2. Be creative, but realistic with your intervention and evaluation tool.
3. Incorporate graphics, clip art, or photographs to increase interest.
4. Review directions thoroughly.
5. Cite all sources within the slide show with in-text citations, as well as a reference page.
6. Proofread prior to final submission.
7. Spell check for spelling and grammar errors prior to final submission.
8. Abide by the Chamberlain College of Nursing academic integrity policy.
