Draft an announcement and agenda for a meeting with stakeholders to present the key aspects of a plan to
adopt the new or upgraded telehealth technology proposed in the previous assessment. Then, develop and
record a 10–15-slide audiovisual presentation. Test your recording hardware to ensure that it is working
properly and that you are familiar with its use.
Note: Each assessment in this course builds upon the work you have completed in previous assessments.
Therefore, complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.

As a nurse leader, you must be able to identify the key stakeholders in the adoption of a new or upgraded
telehealth technology. In addition, you must be able to communicate the benefits and strategic value of the
technology to obtain their support and ensure effective use of the technology. One method of communicating
with stakeholders is to introduce them to the technology in a department meeting. In this meeting, it is
important to discuss how this technology will enhance care and improve quality and safety outcomes.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to consider how you would introduce to stakeholders the new
or upgraded telehealth technology that was the focus of your previous assessment with the goal of obtaining

Presentation Design Tips
Being able to effectively address any audience is a necessary leadership skill. Remember that you are the
speaker, not a projectionist. Your purpose is not to present a slide show. Your audience is there to listen to
what you have to say, not read your slides—or worse, listen to you read them. Design your presentation slides
to compliment and reinforce your message and engage your listeners.
The following tips will help you create presentation slides that work to your advantage:
• Use a professional presentation template, or one used in your organization.
• Ensure that your slide background provides sufficient visual contrast for your text and graphics.
• Consider your intended audience and how best to communicate effectively with them.
• Focus on the content of your presentation and the development of your key points. Remember that your
purpose is to garner support for your change proposal.
• Create slides that augment your presentation. They should not be your presentation.
