Develop a 10-slide business PowerPoint for the economic issue you have been working
with as your topic in the previous assessment. You will then present this PowerPoint using
Kaltura and submit the video.
Introduction
Note: Each assessment in this course builds upon the work you have completed in
previous assessments. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in the order in
which they are presented.
As a master’s-level health care practitioner, you are expected to consider a number of
factors when supporting change by analyzing the feasibility of a new initiative or
identifying an issue within your organization. For example, you must take into
consideration the various types of risk (such as patient safety, physical plant, financial, or
reputation), as well as the present and future value of the service line or economic
opportunity you are invested in. Additionally, you must also balance your ethical and
moral responsibility to provide quality care to patients and populations while protecting
your organization’s assets and economic viability in the near and long terms.

mitigate risks.
Be sure to address each main point. Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide,
including performance-level descriptions for each criterion, to ensure you understand the
work you will be asked to complete and how it will be assessed. In addition, note the
requirements for document format and length and for supporting evidence.
You may also wish to consult the Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations
[PPTX] if you need additional guidance as you are assembling your presentation.
Overall, your assessment submission will be assessed on the following criteria:
Summarize the problem and the potential impact the health care economic
issue has on you, your colleagues, your organization, and the community at
large.
o This is an opportunity to tell your story and what the initiative
means to you as a health care practitioner. Remember, this is a
presentation. So, you want to be engaging and persuasive in
order to build support for what you will be proposing to do later
in the presentation.
Explain the feasibility and cost-benefit considerations of your health care
economic issue, as well as three ways to mitigate risks to the financial
security of your organization or health care setting.
o Make sure to present at least an overview of the data and
numbers you are basing your cost-benefit analysis on.

be implemented.

burdening or disadvantaging any specific groups.
o Double check that your changes or solution do not pose any
ethical issues and are not culturally insensitive.
o Ensure that both access and cost are equitable across all groups
in the community that the proposed solution will be affecting.

evidence and adhering to organizational, professional, and scholarly
communication standards.
