Instructions

This assessment has two deliverables:

Prepare an 8–10-slide PowerPoint presentation about the statistical results with recommendations to health system leadership.

. Ensure the slides graphically communicate the findings.

. Ensure your presentation is relevant to and easily understood by everyone in the audience.

. Be sure your written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message

. Include an APA-formatted references slide at the end of the presentation.

· Use Kaltura or similar software to record your presentation. The presentation should last no more than 3 minutes, and it should contain audio of you speaking. You may use alternative programs or technology, provided you can still create a presentation with visuals and recorded audio.

. Before you begin recording, create a script, speaker notes, or a detailed outline that you can refer to as you record. This professional best practice will help you prepare for your presentation and serve to clarify any insufficient or unclear audio in your recording.

Write a 2–4-page executive summary to accompany the PowerPoint presentation that provides additional context to the results of data analysis.

· Include APA-formatted in-text citations where appropriate.

Submit the recording of your presentation and the executive summary.
