Create a 3-5 minute Kaltura audio, video(speaker notes needed) , and slide presentation that provides a final report on your data analysis project.
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:
Use the Data Analysis Project Report Presentation Template Download Data Analysis Project Report Presentation Templateto create your PowerPoint presentation.
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.
Title: The Problem: High Readmission Rates Content:
High 30-day hospital readmission rates for Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) patients.
Problem impacts patient health, leading to poorer outcomes and increased stress.
Leads to significant financial penalties for the hospital from Medicare/Medicaid.
Strains hospital resources and staff, diverting attention from new admissions.
Speaker Notes:
Our focus is on the high rate of hospital readmissions for patients with Congestive Heart Failure, or CHF, within 30 days of discharge.
This is a critical issue for three main reasons: it negatively affects patient recovery and quality of life; it subjects our hospital to significant financial penalties; and it places a considerable strain on our beds, staff, and resources.
Identifying the root causes of these readmissions is crucial to improving both our clinical and financial performance.
Slide 3: Factors & Units of Measurement
Title: Key Contributing Factors Content:
Factor 1: Inadequate Discharge Planning
Unit of Measurement: A patient’s score on a discharge readiness checklist or a nurse's subjective assessment.
Factor 2: Lack of Patient Education on Medication and Symptoms
Unit of Measurement: A post-discharge knowledge assessment score on a scale of 1-10.
Factor 3: Poor Post-Discharge Follow-up Care
Unit of Measurement: The number of completed follow-up phone calls or clinic visits within the first 7 days.
Speaker Notes:
Through my research, I identified three primary factors contributing to this problem.
First, inadequate discharge planning. This is measured by how prepared a patient feels at discharge, often using a standardized checklist.
Second, a lack of patient education. This is quantified by a simple knowledge test to see if patients understand their medication schedule and can recognize worsening symptoms.
Finally, poor post-discharge follow-up care. We can measure this by tracking completed follow-up phone calls or clinic visits in the critical first week after leaving the hospital.
Slide 4: Literature Review: Key Findings
Title: What the Research Says Content:
Standardized discharge checklists significantly reduce readmissions by 15-20% (JAMA, 2018).
Low health literacy is a primary cause of non-compliance with treatment plans (American Heart Association, 2020).
Nurse-led post-discharge phone calls reduce readmission rates by identifying early signs of patient decline (NEJM, 2019).
Speaker Notes:
My analysis is supported by extensive literature.
Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that simply using a standardized discharge checklist can reduce readmissions by up to 20 percent.
Additionally, the American Heart Association has linked low health literacy to poor treatment compliance, emphasizing the need for simple, clear patient education.
Finally, a study in the New England Journal of Medicine highlighted that proactive nurse-led phone calls are highly effective in catching early signs of a patient's worsening condition, preventing a hospital return.
Slide 5: Data Presentation
Title: Our Data: Readmission Rates by Factor Content:
[This slide would feature a chart or graphic. For this presentation, you would create a bar chart with three bars, one for each factor, showing a hypothetical positive correlation with readmission rates. The chart should have a
