Introduction:

Healthcare leaders are responsible for identifying relevant problems, analyzing data, drawing sound conclusions, and making recommendations for the resolution of problems in the workplace. The data analysis project you will be completing in this assessment is an opportunity to practice the skills of a healthcare leader in a professional, real-world setting.

In this assessment, you will write your final report and develop a presentation suitable for executive leaders.

Note: Each assessment of your capstone project is built on the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in the order they are presented.

For this assessment, you will create a final report video presentation on your data analysis project in the form of a PowerPoint document and a 3–5 minute video in which you present the information in your PowerPoint slides. See the resources for this assessment for help with PowerPoint and with creating your video presentation. The goal is to be succinct, substantive, and to convey the problem statement, factors that cause the problem, key findings from the literature, graphics for each factor, a data analysis, and evidence-based recommendations.

Instructions:

1. Use the Data Analysis Project Report Presentation Template Download Data Analysis Project Report Presentation Templateto create your PowerPoint presentation.
2. In your PowerPoint presentation include the following:
   • A statement of the problem addressed by your data analysis.
   • The factors that cause the problem and the units of measurement used to measure each.
   • A summary of key findings about the problem in the literature.
   • A presentation of the data.
   • An analysis of the data.
   • Evidence-based recommendations for team implementation.
   • Conclusion, including how you would communicate implementation priorities to a diverse set of stakeholders.
   • References.
3. Record a 3–5 minute presentation in Kaltura with the webcam on and the slide concurrently visible. See Using Kalturafor help with that.
   • Use short bullet point phrases with citations (or numbers for a footnoted reference list) on each slide.
4. Select the PowerPoint Outline view, copy the text in this outline view, and paste it into a Word document.
5. Submit the Word document to Turnitin as a draft.
   • Review the Turnitin report, make any needed changes, and resubmit the revised Word document to Turnitin before submitting the content for grading.

Submission Requirements:

Submit the following documents in the Assessment area:

• Your PowerPoint document.
• Your 3–5 minute Kaltura video presentation with video and slide windows concurrently visible.
• A copy of the exact Word document that was submitted to Turnitin.
• If you are completing a Track 1 project (a project in your own workplace), you must also present your data analysis final report in your workplace and submit a Workplace Presentation Summary that includes the following:
  • Titles of attendees at the meeting where you presented your final data analysis.
  • Date and time of your presentation.
  • Whether the meeting was on-site or remote.
  • A bullet point list of feedback you received.

Additional Requirements:

• PowerPoint Format: Use the Data Analysis Project Report Presentation Template Download Data Analysis Project Report Presentation Template.
  • Use the speaker’s notes section of each slide to develop your talking points, but make sure all citations are visible to viewers on the slide.
• Video Format: Display both PowerPoint slides and a webcam video of you presenting the information contained in the slides. Your video must be a continuously narrated presentation, which does not require the viewer to manually advance each slide.
• Video Length: A maximum of 3–5 minutes.
• Content: Make your presentation concise and succinct. Do not include distracting or non-value-added elements.
• APA Formatting: Format any in-text citations and references according to current APA style and formatting. Evidence and APA can help with this.

SOLUTION

Step 1 — Organize Your Content (Outline Your Slides)

Follow the required structure exactly. Use short bullet points on slides and put full sentences (what you’ll say out loud) in the speaker notes.
Here’s the suggested outline for your PowerPoint:

---

Slide 1: Title Slide

• Project title

• Your name

• Course, instructor, date

---

Slide 2: Problem Statement

• Clearly state the problem you analyzed

• Why it matters to patient care or organizational performance

• Impact (cost, safety, satisfaction, etc.)

Speaker notes: Include background context, how the problem was identified, and why leadership attention is needed.

---

Slide 3: Factors Causing the Problem

• List 2–4 main contributing factors

• Show unit of measurement for each (e.g., infection rate %, staff turnover rate, patient satisfaction scores)

• Use a simple graphic or table

Speaker notes: Explain how each factor contributes and why they were selected.

---

Slide 4: Literature Key Findings

• Summarize what authoritative sources say about the problem

• Use bullet points with in-text citations (APA)

• 3–4 key evidence points

Speaker notes: Highlight best practices, benchmarks, or proven strategies from the literature.

---

Slide 5: Data Presentation

• Present your actual project data (chart or table)

• Include sample size, time period, and data source

Speaker notes: Describe what the data show at a high level.

---

Slide 6: Data Analysis

• Explain main patterns or relationships found

• Reference metrics/statistics (e.g., correlation, averages, trends)

• Include 1 visual (bar chart, scatter plot, etc.)

Speaker notes: Interpret what the data mean in relation to the problem.

---

Slide 7: Evidence-Based Recommendations

• 2–4 actionable steps for the team

• Cite evidence supporting each

• Make sure they are realistic and measurable

Speaker notes: Show how each recommendation addresses the root causes you identified.

---

Slide 8: Implementation & Communication

• How to communicate priorities to stakeholders

• Different methods for different groups (leaders, frontline staff, patients)

---

Slide 9: Conclusion

• Restate key findings

• Expected outcomes if recommendations are implemented

• Call to action for leaders

---

Slide 10: References

• Full APA-format reference list of all sources cited

• Minimum 3–5 high-quality sources

---

Step 2 — Record the Presentation

• Use Kaltura as required.

• Turn on your webcam and screen share your slides.

• Narrate while advancing slides.

• Length: 3–5 minutes maximum (aim for ~30 seconds per slide).

---

Step 3 — Create the Word Document for Turnitin

• In PowerPoint, go to View → Outline View, copy all the slide text.

• Paste it into a Word document.

• Add your reference list at the end.

• Submit this draft to Turnitin, revise if needed, then submit the revised version with your other files.

---

Step 4 — Submit Your Deliverables

You must submit:

3. Word document copy of your slides (Turnitin checked)

4. (If Track 1) Workplace Presentation Summary with:

   • Titles of attendees

   • Date/time

   • On-site or remote

   • Bullet-point feedback received

Tips for Success

• Use clean visuals (charts, graphs) not dense text.

• Put citations on the slides and full references on the last slide.

• Keep tone professional and concise — aim for clarity, not flash.

• Use the speaker notes for your detailed script.

• Practice once or twice to make sure you stay under 5 minutes.
