Introduction

As a practicing professional, you are likely to present educational inservices or training to staff pertaining to quality improvement (QI)

measures of safety improvement interventions. Such in-services and

training sessions should be presented in a creative and innovative

manner to hold the audience’s attention and promote knowledge

acquisition and skill application that changes practice for the better. The

teaching sessions may include a presentation, audience participation via

simulation or other interactive strategy, audiovisual media, and

participant learning evaluation.

The use of in-services and/or training sessions has positive implications

for nursing practice by increasing staff confidence when providing care to

specific patient populations. It also allows for a safe and nonthreatening

environment where staff nurses can practice their skills prior to a real

patient event. Participation in learning sessions fosters a team approach,

collaboration, patient safety, and greater patient satisfaction rates in the

health care environment (Patel & Wright, 2018).

As you prepare to complete the assessment, consider the impact of inservice training on patient outcomes as well as practice outcomes for

staff nurses. Be sure to support your thoughts on the effectiveness of

educating and training staff to increase the quality of care provided to

patients by examining the literature and established best practices.

You are encouraged to explore the AONE Nurse Executive

Competencies Review activity before you develop the Improvement Plan

In-Service Presentation. This activity will help you review your

understanding of the AONE Nurse Executive Competencies—especially

those related to competencies relevant to developing an effective training

session and presentation. This is for your own practice and selfassessment, and demonstrates your engagement in the course.

Professional Context

Scenario

For this assessment, build on the work that you have done in your first

two assessments and create an agenda and PowerPoint of an

educational in-service session that would help a specific staff audience

learn, provide feedback, and understand their roles and practice new

skills related to the safety improvement plan you created.

Instructions

The final deliverable for this assessment will be a PowerPoint

presentation with detailed presenter’s notes representing the material

you would deliver at an in-service session to raise awareness of your

chosen safety improvement initiative focusing on a specific patient safety

issue and to explain the need for such an initiative. Additionally, you must

educate the audience as to their role and importance to the success of

the initiative. This includes providing examples and practice opportunities

to test out new ideas or practices related to the safety improvement

initiative.

Be sure that your presentation addresses the following, which

corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the

scoring guide carefully so you understand what is needed for a

distinguished score.

what they are expected to take away.

Part 2: Safety Improvement Plan.

Give an overview of the current problem focusing on a specific

patient safety issue, the proposed plan, and what the

improvement plan is trying to address.

Explain why it is important for the organization to address the

current situation.

Part 3: Audience’s Role and Importance.

Discuss how the staff audience will be expected to help

implement and drive the improvement plan.

Explain why they are critical to the success of the improvement

plan focusing on a specific patient safety issue.

Describe how their work could benefit from embracing their role in

the plan.

Part 4: New Process and Skills Practice.

Explain new processes or skills.

Develop an activity that allows the staff audience to practice and

ask questions about these new processes and skills.

In the notes section of your PowerPoint, brainstorm potential

responses to likely questions or concerns.

Part 5: Soliciting Feedback.

Presentation length: There is no required length; use just enough

slides to address all the necessary elements. Remember to use

short, concise bullet points on the slides and expand on your points in

the presenter’s notes. If you use 2 or 3 slides to address each of the

parts in the above example, your presentation would be at least 10

slides and no more than 15 slides (not including the title, conclusion,

or references slides).

Speaker notes: Speaker notes (located under each slide) should

reflect what you would actually say if you were delivering the

presentation to an audience. This presentation does NOT require

audio or a transcript. Another presenter would be able to use the

presentation by following the speaker’s notes.

APA format: Use APA formatting for in-text citations. Include an APAformatted reference slide at the end of your presentation.
