In this assessment, you will develop a proposal for an intervention to address a current practice or issue of concern. You will also develop a professional presentation to deliver to your peers to convince your peers at your practicum site to adopt and implement your proposal.

Your assessment is in two parts:

· 5–7 page scholarly paper.

· Part 2: Narrated presentation to encourage adoption of the proposal, using Kaltura. Include:

· No more than nine slides, not including the title and reference slide.

· Title and reference slides.

· A written, detailed Word document of the narration.

Part 1

· Identify current practice. Remote tele monitoring (video) system, bed/chair alarms and call light.

· Propose strategy to improve current practice. What is the strategy, including the changes for people and process needed?

· How does this enhance quality, safety, and reduce cost?

· Describe the application of technology in your strategy for improvement.

· What evidence are you basing your decisions on?

· How would you implement this strategy at your practicum site? What challenges for implementation do you see at your site, and how would you overcome them?

· What does successful interprofessional collaboration look like to implement this strategy? What interprofessional collaboration have or would you implement?

Part 2 No more than 9 slides

Now develop a short, narrated presentation to make the actual change. Your presentation should explain to your peers at your practicum site and you should appear on video in professional attire:
