Course Project: SAHS Analysis Project Guidelines and Grading Guide
Overview The final project for this course is a group project in which the group will analyze Shady Acre Health Systems (SAHS) in order to: 1) determine the current issues
SAHS is facing, 2) devise plausible solutions to these issues, and 3) recommend a course of action. Groups will construct a PowerPoint presentation highlighting
the current issues along with the solutions. Groups will also submit supporting documentation explaining, in detail, the recommended course of action.
Objectives To successfully complete this project, you will be expected to apply what you have learned in this course and should include several of the following course
objectives:
● Evaluate organizational strategies and approaches that contribute to creating a culture of quality and safety through leadership, priority setting, and a
commitment to systems thinking and organizational roles, processes, and structure
● Construct effective organizational processes that will transform the health service organization and enable it to meet the needs of a diverse clientele
● Analyze the multifaceted relationships of the triangle of health service delivery: quality, cost, and access
● Determine the various political and social forces that are influencing the direction of health service delivery
Format Milestone One: Analysis of Existing Issues
In 6-3 Course Project, you will submit your analysis paper. This 1–2-page analysis paper should explain, in detail, the existing issues facing SAHS. This milestone is
not graded, but formative feedback will be provided.
Milestone Two: Submit Presentation
In 10-3 Course Project: Shady Acre Health Systems Analysis: Submit Presentation, you will submit your final presentation, highlighting the major issues and
possible solutions. It should be a complete, polished artifact containing all of the main elements of the final product. It should reflect the incorporation of
feedback gained throughout the course. The presentation will be graded using the SAHS Presentation Rubric.
Milestone Three: Submit Documentation
In 10-4 Course Project: Shady Acre Health Systems Analysis: Submit Documentation, you will submit your final version of your documentation, including your
recommended course of action. It should be a complete, polished artifact containing all of the main elements of the final product. It should reflect the
incorporation of feedback gained throughout the course. The documentation will be graded using the SAHS Documentation Rubric.
Supplemental Presentation Information One may be called upon to conduct research and deliver findings in professional settings. No matter how extensive the research or accurate the conclusions, a weak presentation can undermine an argument. A presentation is a tool to assist in making an argument. When creating presentations, students develop skills in researching an issue, synthesizing the information, organizing data logically, and presenting findings in an effective manner. Principles of an Effective Presentation:
● You may utilize a product such as Microsoft’s PowerPoint or Google Presentation to create your presentations. ● There are various template designs that you can find on the web for your presentation. However, first consider your presentation from the perspective
of your audience prior to selecting a specific style. Distracting backgrounds, large blocks of text, all uppercase fonts, elaborate font styles, grammatical errors, and misspellings are distracting. Be consistent with the style of text, bullets, and sub-points in order to support a powerful presentation that allows your content to be the focus.
● Each slide should include your key point(s). Do not place large blocks of text on the visual. Your presentation is not a means of presenting a short paper. In an actual presentation you would not “read” from your slides but rather use them as prompts.
● Any notes or narration you would use in delivering this presentation to a group should be listed in the “notes” section of the slide. ● References should be listed at the bottom of the slide in slightly smaller text. ● Use clip art, AutoShapes, pictures, charts, tables, and diagrams to enhance but not overwhelm your content. ● Be mindful of the intended audience and seek to assess the presentation’s effectiveness by gauging audience comprehension (when possible).
