PowerPoint Presentation

Prepare a four to five minute audio-visual presentation or a PowerPoint of at least 10 to 15 slides on one health informatics topic 

PowerPoint Presentation Best Practices

What is Present.me?

Follow these steps to prepare a professional-looking PowerPoint presentation.

Step 1: Decide what the main point of your presentation will be. Before you begin your PowerPoint presentation, you

need to figure out what the main point of your presentation will be. Your main point will be the idea that is the

backbone of your presentation, and which all of the other information will support. This is your thesis statement.

Step 2: Condense your information. Once you determine what your thesis statement will be, you need to take all of

the information you have compiled and condense it. You only need to include the most important points, otherwise

your presentation will be too long or rambling.

Step 3: Plan out your presentation. Once you know what your main point will be, you need to plan out the structure of

your presentation. Plan out what information will be presented, and in what order. Outline your presentation, and your

speech as well. The structure of your presentation should be similar to a final paper assignment, and should include

your thesis, evidence to support your thesis, and a conclusion.

Step 4: Streamline your text. Do not use your slides to simply restate what you are saying. Your slides should be used

to support what you saying in your presentation. Never read from your slides! In fact, you should aim to have as little

text as possible! Keep the amount of text to a minimum, and present it in ways that are easy to follow.

Step 5: Use informative graphics. Graphics should be a way to convey information to your audience that might be

difficult to describe in words. Use graphs and charts,

Step 5: Do not use unnecessary sounds or visuals. Do not include unnecessary visual or audio components. Things like

sound effects or background images distract the audience and add nothing to the presentation.

Step 6: Practice makes perfect! Practice your presentation to be sure that your speech fits well with the slides, and

that your presentation meets the time limits.

Tips for a great presentation:

 Use the 10 second rule! If it takes more than ten seconds to read the text on your slide, it is too long!

 Use easy to read fonts like Arial, Tahoma, and Verdana.

 A twenty minute presentation should have a maximum of 20 slides, but about 10 would be preferable.

 Use a consistent background and layout for all of your slides.

 Avoid clutter and bright backgrounds.

 Check your work carefully for spelling/grammar errors.

 Use bullet points rather than complete sentences.

This job aid will show you how to prepare a PowerPoint presentation by

sharing best practices and a general process for approaching the

presentation. This is intended to support you in creating a strong

presentation. For information on using the software, however, you should

visit the “Help” feature within PowerPoint.

 If you’re using Flickr Creative Commons or Wikimedia images, make sure you give attribution to the owner of

the picture (you can do a whole page of credits at the end of your presentation).

 Don’t use someone else’s image unless you are sure that you have permission to do so.

)

· Speaker notes are the typed notes that appear below the slide that complement the presentation slides. Whereas the slides will have short bulleted items, the speaker notes will be more detailed. They are essentially what the presenter would say during the presentation to explain each of the bulleted points on the slide. Therefore, it is important that the speaker notes are concise and detailed when explaining the bullet points.

· It is recommended that PowerPoint Slides contain no more than five bullet points and should not contain more than seven to 10 words each. Do not type paragraphs or long sentences on the slide. The information that explains each bullet point is conveyed via speaker notes or by recording your voice to each slide.

Documents in Class Announcements: Your instructor has uploaded a PowerPoint presentation which is a great guide containing tips and tricks as to how to put together an excellent PowerPoint slide presentation. For those of you who choose the PowerPoint presentation option for the final project you will find this guide to be useful.

Discussions: In your discussions this week we are examining some of them are advancing concepts of informatics such as the use of simulation programs and simulation technologies in healthcare. Additionally, we are exploring the global initiative is happening with regards to eHealth and the advancements of electronic medical record systems in both developed and underdeveloped countries.

Chapter 36 Case Study: Trends in Informatics

Formulate a paper addressing trends in health informatics using the address the following prompts:

· Discuss the benefits and challenges of simulation technology as a technology trend.

· Given future directional trends in informatics discussed in Chapter 36 of your text such as nanotechnology, predictive analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT), select a trend that you view to be most important to our society today. Provide a rationale for your choice.

· Analyze the Health Information Technology Governance Activities and Processes summery discussed in Chapter 29 of your text (Box 29.1). Reflecting on your Ashford University major of study, discuss how an organizational leader in health care and/or health and human services would use these activities to prioritize informatics projects related to implementing an informatics trend discussed in Chapter 36.

Your paper should be two to three pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages and formatted according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. In addition to the textbook, utilize a minimum of two scholarly sources to support your position.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

Final Project:

Hint:  As discussed in Week 3, this is not a project you can tackle on Day 7 at 11:00 PM. If you have not begun your final project as of the beginning of Week 5 you must to do so immediately to do the appropriate level of research on your topic. Please do not wait until the end of Week 5 to begin this final project. The research phase alone will take you several hours prior to putting together your video or PowerPoint presentation. I strongly suggest you review the project early in the week; you have time to ask any questions.  I check the course and the email once a day.

Some students have a difficult time with the audiovisual component of the assignment. You can do the audiovisual presentation or as an alternative you can submit a PowerPoint with speaker notes.  This is still a five-minute presentation so put your effort into the final project-it is worth 20% of the final grade.

Final Project Content:

The four- to five-minute presentation should be set up as a staff educational session on your selected topic.

Your presentation must:

· The four to five-minute presentation should be set up as a staff educational session on your selected topic.

· Define your topic and explain its relevance to health informatics.

· Describe any ethical issues associated with your topic.

· Describe any associated laws, regulations, or voluntary standards relevant to the topic.

· Explain how the topic relates to or impacts health care delivery, administration, education, data administration or research.

· Summarize associated data capture tools and technologies.

· Describe a specific example of your topic in use in health care.

References: Include five scholarly references, in addition to the textbook, formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
