In your presentation,

• Describe the core measure you chose.
• Analyze how your hospital will follow the requirements in the chosen core measure.
• Examine the penalties that will occur if this policy/procedure is not followed.

You are basically creating the policy/procedure and presenting it on the PowerPoint as if you were presenting to an audience.

Create a PowerPoint presentation using the guidelines below. Your  presentation must utilize at least two scholarly sources from the last  five to seven years, in addition to the textbook, that contain research  regarding how your policy and/or procedure would be put into place in a  hospital setting.

The Core Measures PowerPoint presentation assignment

• Must be five to seven slides (excluding the title slide and  reference slides) and be formatted according to APA style as outlined in  the Ashford Writing Center.
• Must use speakers notes as follows: 
  • Review the PowerPoint Speaker Notes (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. video tutorial. (YouTube Accessibility Statement (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. & Privacy Policy (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.)
  • 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 seven to 10 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.
