I received a 42% on this assessment, so please read ALL teacher comments as she has given me feedback on assessment.
Teacher Comment: You briefly explained the need for and process to improve safety outcomes related to medication errors; however, the explanation of the relevance to the organization was not identified. The multi-year review of incidents your previously described was not included and could have served as the database for slides 2-3 in which causes of the errors were described. Please make sure to refer to the assessment rubric so not to miss any components to the criterion. I suggest that you focus on the distinguished level of the criterion while developing your assessment. This will ensure that you meet the course competencies. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Teacher Comment: While you described how the role of the audience, you needed to explain just how important the audience’s role is to the success of the improvement plan to reduce medication errors. In addition, you could have described the type of communication required to promote a buy-in which was outlined in the scoring guide. Let me know if you have any questions
Teacher Comment: The section of the scoring guide was not addressed in the paper. You were to create some resources and activities to reduce medication errors, such as presenting a case scenario of one or two commonly found incidents and explain their relevance to developing the skills or understanding the process to enhance the audience’s comprehension of the safety improvement plan. In addition, you could have supplied notes to the audience to enhance their understanding of the process as outlined in the scoring guide. Please be sure to follow the criteria in the scoring guide.
Teacher Comment: While you presented a presentation to nurses about a safety improvement plan, there was a lack of ability to communicate in a informative manner where expectations were clearly identified and where feedback was solicited for future communication strategies. The slides did not consistently reflect your plan. The slides were difficult to read at times because of the font size and too much information on a slide. When developing a presentation please take into consideration that your stakeholders need to be able to read it from a distance of about 5 feet. I suggest that you have someone look at your slides from this distance to guide the font size on your slides. This will make a difference between a proficient and distinguished designation in this criterion. I hope that these suggestions help you prepare you for the many presentations you will conduct in your professional career. Thank you, for sharing it with me!
