Final Presentation For your Final Presentation you will be presenting on the U.S. healthcare system. Imagine you are a community health director educating a group of new healthcare professionals on the U.S. healthcare system. You have been asked to create a PowerPoint presentation, which includes the elements listed below: Note: You will be using Part 1 from week three for the first section of the Final Presentation. Please make sure to correct issues and address any recommendations from your instructor’s Week 3 Assignment feedback. Introduction: Include a title slide. Next, include an introductory slide where you introduce yourself and explain what you are about to present. Part I: The U.S. Healthcare System – Define the U.S. healthcare system by addressing the items below: •Describe the history of the U.S. health care system. Include at least three of the revolutionary factors (e.g., teacher’s union in Dallas, Texas; the American Medical Association; Civil War, and the First Marine Hospital, etc.). Chapter two in our textbook discusses the evolution of our system and is a good resource for this part of your presentation. •Identify at least one major development from each of the following: financial, legal, ethical, regulatory, and social [i.e., consumer demand]) that transformed the system into what it is today. You may want to revisit the health care timelines available in your course textbook. •Differentiate the stakeholders and their roles (i.e., health care professionals, clients [patients], government, colleges, and health care agencies. ◦Include the positive and negative contributions of how they affect our health care system. Part II: The Cost of the U.S. Healthcare System •Describe the costs and how they are set (i.e., reimbursement methods, managed care organizations, Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance). •Explain how technology has affected costs (e.g., EHR, medical research, equipment improvements like MRI, mammography, etc.) and delivery of quality care (e.g., personalized medicine, mobile services like ePrescribing, disease registries, etc.). Part III: The United States Versus Other Health Care Systems—an International Perspective •Contrast the U.S. health care system with at least one other (e.g., Canada’s universal health care vs. U.S. healthcare or South Africa vs. U.S. health care, etc.). ◦Include at least one positive aspect from the other country’s health care system that you would like to see added to the U.S. healthcare system. Explain why you would like to see this in our system. Part IV: Reforms and Improvements •Describe any potential reforms and improvements that are currently being discussed at either the local, state, or federal level. Your work must be based upon scholarly research, not media commentary. ◦Examples could include the following: ◾Federal modifications (i.e., Medicare reform, repealing PPACA, universal type system, etc.) ◾State modifications(i.e., Medicaid reform, income tax credits, etc.) ◾Increased consumer controls Note: The PPACA is not an appropriate reform or improvement to be described here because it is already law and not a future improvement. However, if there is a proposal to amend or eliminate, then you can include that potential reform. Conclusion: Future of the U.S. healthcare system •Explain what you believe the U.S. healthcare system will look like in the next 10 years. Give at least two recommendations for change. •Address access to care, quality of care, and cost of care including an example of each in your vision of our future healthcare system. Creating the Final Presentation The Final Presentation must: •Be 15 to 20 slides, which includes Part 1, (excludes the title slide and reference slides) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. •Be presented using Microsoft PowerPoint slide presentation. You have a choice of one of the following options for adding the narrative to your presentation. Option 1 is using voice or Option 2 is adding speaker notes to each slide. ◦Option 1: Recording your voice on each slide. You can view the tutorial using this link: adding and recording voice to each slide.You can also click on the following links to view the Accessibility Statement and Privacy Policy. If you choose this option, you must include your APA formatted citation in the speaker note section of the PPT as well. ◾Note: if you use the voice option, make sure your recordings are clear and concise. It is also important to know that adding voice narrations that are too lengthy and adding graphics may cause your PPT file to be very large (megabytes). You may have trouble loading it to Waypoint. Revisions may be necessary if this occurs. ◦Option 2: Using speaker notes for each slide in the PPT. You can review the tutorial using this link: adding speaker notes to your presentation. You can also click on the following links to view the Accessibility Statement , and the Privacy Policy. ◾Speaker notes are the typed notes that appear below the slide that complement the presentation slides. Whereas the slides will have short bulleted items, the speaker notes will be more detailed. They are essentially what the presenter would say during the presentation to explain each of the bulleted points on the slide. Therefore, it is important that the speaker notes are concise and detailed when explaining the bullet points. ◦It is recommended that PowerPoint Slides contain no more than five bullet points and should not contain more than 5 – 7 words each. Do not type paragraphs or long sentences on the slide. The information that explains each bullet point is conveyed via speaker notes or by recording your voice to each slide. ◦It is required that the Microsoft PowerPoint presentation include the use of a voice or speaker notes. If you choose to use the voice capabilities within PowerPoint, you must include your citations in the speaker notes for each slide. •Be visually engaging. For assistance with designing the visuals for your presentation, view the video Don McMillan: Life after death by PowerPoint (click on the following links to view the Accessibility Statement or the Privacy Policy) or the PowerPoint Best Practices tool. •Include a title slide with the following: ◦Title of the presentation ◦Student name ◦Course name and number ◦Instructor name ◦Date submitted •Address the sections in the order outlined above (Introduction, Part I, II, III, and IV). •Present the issues with critical thought. •Use at least two scholarly sources (none of which should be media commentary, at least one should be from the Ashford University Library). •Document all sources in APA format (including graphics, charts and pictures that may be used within the presentation). Wikimedia Commons is a recommended source for creative commons images (to view the privacy policy, click here). •Include a separate reference slide formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. If you are unable to access the technology for this assignment due to a documented accommodations on file with the Office of Access and Wellness, inform your instructor as soon as possible. Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

Personal Class Design Project – Part 1

Complete this assignment according to the following:

1  Design a class that you would like to teach someday. The class must be at least 4 hours in length and must be multiple sessions. It can be four sessions of 1 hour each, or two sessions of 2 hours each, depending on your topic and target audience.

2  Begin by describing the institution that is sponsoring the class (e.g., academic, hospital, or community agency). Include the philosophy of the sponsoring organization and how that will affect the course you are developing.

3  Explain how you determined a need for this class (needs assessment).

4  Write a one-paragraph description of the class.

5  Identify the target audience.

6  Identify the learning resources you will use for the class (textbooks or other resources).

7  Write the program outcomes for the course and the learner objectives for each class session. Indicate which domains of learning are represented by each learner objective.

There is no predetermined length criterion for this assignment. It is intended that each student will develop a class that they can use in their selected area of education.

Personal Class Design Project: Part 2

Using the “Personal Class Design Project – Part 1” assignment you will complete the course design to include learner objectives, outline, teaching strategies, and associated evaluation, and method.

Using Part I, write and revise the original learner objectives submitted.

Use the A-B-C-D method of writing objectives. The objectives should incorporate Bloom’s taxonomy, be written at the appropriate level for the audience, and include at least two learning domains (cognitive, psychomotor, and affective). Refer to– Nursing Education Seminar II: A-B-C-D Approach to Objective Writing” and “– Nursing Education Seminar II: Learning Domains.”

Map out a class time frame, outlining when to cover each of the content areas. Refer to “– Nursing Education Seminar II: Lesson Plan Template.”

In addition to the content area, include the class time frame:

8  Time frame for covering each topic area

9  Teaching strategy for each objective

10  How the learning will be evaluated

Include rationale for each selected instruction and the evaluation method used.

Support your rationale by citing at least three scholarly, peer-reviewed resources (less than 5 years old) in addition to the course materials.

There is no predetermined length for this assignment. It is intended that each student will develop a class that can be utilized in the student’s selected area of education.

A-B-C-D Approach to Objective Writing

Writing objectives is much like writing outcomes in the nursing process. Objectives must be measurable, contain action verbs, be specific, include timelines, and indicate the degree to which you expect the leaner to achieve.

A helpful formula to write objectives is the A-B-C-D approach:

·  Audience: Who is the audience for the class? Is it a student nurse? A staff nurse? A participant in a class?

·  Behavior: What do I want the audience to accomplish by the end of the class? An example of a behavior is being able to identify the signs and symptoms of infection.

·  Condition: How will students demonstrate mastery and be assessed in their learning? An example could be that students will demonstrate their knowledge of a lab or clinical area by taking a written test.

·  Degree: How well will students perform their new knowledge? Should students be able to identify all signs and symptoms of infection, or would it be satisfactory if they identified only two symptoms?

A sample objective that illustrates these points is: “After reading this lecture (condition), the graduate student in the nurse educator track (audience) will be able to write an objective (behavior) using the A-B-C-D approach (degree).”

The above objective dictates that the student will be able to write an objective, as opposed to discussing or identifying it. Since the objective says “write,” the student must write an objective to meet this objective. If the objective instead said: “List the components of a complete learner objective,” the appropriate evaluation would require that the student list the A-B-C-D; whereas the objective “describe the components” would have students describe the meaning of each A-B-C-D step. Well-written objectives will dictate the evaluation process.

Nursing Education Seminar II: Learning Domains

While objectives level the information to be learned, domains of learning represent the areas in which one learns. The three learning domains are cognitive, which represents intellectual knowledge; psychomotor, which represents knowledge that requires kinesthetic or hands-on application; and affective, which represents knowledge that is assimilated through a change in attitude.

When a student learns the physiology of the infectious process, it is cognitive knowledge. Psychomotor learning is exemplified when a student learns to change a dressing over an infected wound. Affective learning is demonstrated by a student who changes lifestyle habits to decrease the transmission of infection or a student who learns to be nonjudgmental toward patients with specific infections.

Since objectives must be measurable, words like know and understand are not suitable objective verbs. Requiring a student to describe the pathophysiologic process and list the signs and symptoms of an infection are examples of measurable objectives. Clear and well-written objectives best communicate the educational focus and intent of the instruction and inform both student and instructor as to how knowledge will be evaluated.
