Finance, Risk, and Cost. Prior to engaging in this discussion, read
Chapters 3 and 4 from the text review any relevant Instructor Guidance. It is
suggested that you review the recommended resources to glean any helpful
information. You are an associate director in a 300-bed hospital located in an
urban area. For the purposes of your presentation, the location will be the
closest city to your current residence (this may be your city of residence). A
sum of money is available for investment in the facility. You have been tasked
by the hospital CEO to present a possible investment scenario in which you
renovate your existing facility, expand the current facility, or clinically
integrate your electronic health records (EHRs). There is only enough money to
fund one of the potential projects. Your primary sources of data and
information may or may not be reliable. Please see the “Finance, Risk, and
Cost” document for the data needed to create your presentation.
In this discussion, you will be create a five-minute presentation using
PowerPoint and Jing, Screencast-o-matic, or an alternative program with audio,
wherein you propose one of the potential projects and defend its viability as
the best option at the present time. Your PowerPoint presentation slides must
include the following information:
·
A basic design of the projected service/project (i.e., the option you are
promoting)
·
An analysis of the role of public policy in terms of your provision of
health care services and provide justification of your choice
·
An explanation of the relevance of the current financial data in terms of
the projected outcome of the project
·
A compare and contrast discussion of the economic challenges and incentives
related to your project
Once you have created
your PowerPoint presentation, use Jing, Screencast-o-matic, or an alternative
program with audio, to create a screencast of your presentation with voiceover.
Include a title for your presentation in the description box when you publish
your screencast. The hospital CEO has limited your presentation time to three
to five minutes, so you will need to incorporate as many characteristics of an
effective speaker as you can within this timeframe. These characteristics may
include but are not limited to storytelling, facts only, pace, and volume.
Since there is no video of the presenter (just the presentation itself), you
will not have the benefit of body language, so be sure to create a convincing
screencast. Do not read your slides; rather, elaborate on your bullet points
and/or financial maps within the slides.
Copy and paste the URL
to your screencast into your discussion board response section and attach your
PowerPoint (.ppt) file to the post prior to submitting it. Your presentation
must utilize at least two scholarly sources, in addition to your textbook, that
are cited in APA format as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. All sources
used within the presentation must be cited properly on the slides and included
on required reference slide, which will be the last slide of the PowerPoint
presentation. Due to the time limit of your presentation, you are not required
to speak or read through the reference slide. However, you must include your
reference list within the discussion post along with the URL for your
screencast and submit your PowerPoint presentation by attaching the PowerPoint
(.ppt) file to your initial discussion post.
