Overview – Assessment 4 – MSN-FP6218 Develop and record a 10–15-slide, asynchronous, audiovisual presentation for policymakers, soliciting resource and policy support for the community health care system change you proposed in the previous assessment. Note: This assessment builds upon the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented. Nurse leaders must be able to make effective financial and policy decisions. Equally important is the ability to communicate their vision for change to policymakers and provide objective, evidence-based support for their position with respect to the regulatory, political, social, ethical, legal, and financial aspects of systemic change. This assessment provides an opportunity to develop a presentation aimed at soliciting resource and policy support for the community health care change you proposed in Assessment 3. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: Competency 1: Identify the challenges and opportunities facing health care. Explain why proposed changes to a health care system require policy and financial support to ensure positive, systemic change and to overcome present challenges. Competency 2: Compare the effects of different health care finance models and policy frameworks on resources and patient outcomes. Provide broad budget estimates to fund specific capital or human resource outlays that are important to the success of a proposed change. Competency 3: Evaluate the positive and negative influences of leaders on health care processes and outcomes. Assess the potential future for wellness, health, and improved overall care and the role of visionary leaders in achieving the desired goals. Cultivate stakeholder interest in and support for the proposed changes to a community health care system. Competency 4: Develop proactive strategies to change the culture of the organization by incorporating evidence-based practices. Provide compelling evidence that proposed changes to a health care system will produce the intended outcomes. Outline a plan for leading transformational, evidence-based change in an organization. Competency 5: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style consistent with applicable organizational, professional, and scholarly standards. Develop slides that augment a multimedia presentation. Argue persuasively to obtain policy and financial support from policymakers for a proposed community health care change. Support assertions, arguments, propositions, and conclusions with relevant and credible evidence. Resources Required Resources MSN Program Journey Please review this guide for your degree program.
