Assignment
Final Presentation
Look ahead at the Final Presentation in Week Five. The assignment this week is Part I of that presentation. For this assignment you will provide an overview of the U.S. healthcare system. Follow the instructions below to complete this part of your Final Presentation:
Introduction: Identify yourself and describe the nature of this presentation.
Part I (of the Final Presentation): The U.S. healthcare system. Define the U.S. healthcare system by addressing the following:
o Describe the history (e.g., the teacher's union in Dallas, Texas; The American Medical Association; first Marine Hospital).
o Identify the major developments that transformed the system into what it is today (include financial, legal, ethical, regulatory, and social [e.g., consumer demand]). You may want to revisit the healthcare timeline.
• Differentiate the stakeholders and their roles (e.g., healthcare professionals, clients, political figures, schools, and what they do within the system).
The presentation must:
o Be at least five slides (excluding a cover slide and reference slides) and be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
o Be presented using voice and/or video along with your Microsoft PowerPoint slide presentation. You have a choice of one of the following methods for adding voice and/or video:
? Microsoft PowerPoint including detailed speaker notes and recording your voice on each slide in the PPT. You can review the tutorials using these links on adding speaker notes to your presentation as well as adding and recording voice to each slide.
? It is recommended that PowerPoint slides contain no more than five bullet points and should not contain more than 5 - 7 words each. The information that explains each bullet point is conveyed via speaker notes and by recording your voice to each slide.
? Speaker notes are the typed notes that appear below the slide that complement the presentation slides. Whereas the slides will have short bulleted items, the speaker notes will be more detailed. They are essentially what the presenter would say during the presentation to explain each of the bulleted points on the slide. Therefore, it is important that the speaker notes are concise and detailed when explaining the bullet points.
? Other options for recording are the following screencast/video software programs: Screenr, Screencast-O-Matic, YouTube, and Jing are other good video resources that are free. Review the Screenr Quick-Start Guide, Screencast-O-Matic Quick-Start Guide, or YouTube Quick-Start Guide for more information to help you get started. You may view the Screenr demonstration video or contact Screenr Help directly for assistance using the software program. You may also search on your own to locate a program of your choice.
? It is required that the Microsoft PowerPoint presentation include the use of a voice and/or video. If you choose to use the voice capabilities within PowerPoint, you must include speaker notes for each slide.
o Be visually engaging. For assistance with designing the visuals for your presentation, view the video Don McMillan: Life after death by PowerPoint or the PowerPoint Best Practices tool.
o Include a title slide with the following:
o Address the sections in the order outlined above (Introduction, Part I).
o Present the issues with critical thought.
o Use at least two scholarly sources (none of which should be media commentary, at least one should be from the Ashford University Library).
o Document all sources in APA format (including graphics, charts and pictures that may be used within the presentation). Wikimedia Commons is a recommended source for creative commons images.
• Include a separate reference slide formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
