Powerpoint Presentation

Look ahead at the Final Presentation directions in Week Five. The assignment this week is Part I of that presentation. For this assignment, Part 1, you will provide an overview of the U.S. healthcare system. Follow the instructions below to complete this part of your Final Presentation:Introduction: Include a title slide. Next, include an introductory slide where you will identify yourself and describe the nature of this presentation.

Part I (of the Final Presentation): The U.S. healthcare system. Define the U.S. healthcare system by addressing the following:

• Describe the history of the U.S. health care system. Include at least three of the revolutionary factors (e.g., the teacher’s union in Dallas, Texas; The American Medical Association; Civil War, first Marine Hospital, etc.). Chapter two in our textbook discusses the evolution of our healthcare system and is a good resource for this part of the presentation. 
• Identify at least one major development from each of the following: financial, legal, ethical, regulatory, and social [e.g., consumer demand] that transformed the system into what it is today. You may want to revisit the healthcare timeline.
• Differentiate the stakeholders and their roles (e.g., healthcare professionals, clients [patients], health insurance organizations, government,colleges, and health care agencies.
  • Include the positive and negative contributions of how they affect the health care system).

Creating Part 1 of the Final Presentation for the Week 3 AssignmentPart 1 of the Final Presentation must:

• • Be 5 to 7 slides (excludes the title slide and reference slides) and be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
  • Be presented using Microsoft PowerPoint slide presentation.  You have a choice of one of the following options for adding the narrative to your presentation. Option 1 is using voice or Option 2 is adding speaker notes to each slide.
    • Option 1: Recording your voice on each slide. You can view the tutorial using this link: adding and recording voice (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to each slide.You can also click on the following links to view the Accessibility Statement (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and Privacy Policy (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. If you choose this option, you must include your APA formatted citation in the speaker note section of the PPT as well.
      • Note: if you use the voice option, make sure your recordings are clear and concise. It is also important to know that adding voice narrations that are too lengthy and adding graphics may cause your PPT file to be very large (megabytes). You may have trouble loading it to Waypoint. Revisions may be necessary if this occurs.
    • Option 2: Using speaker notes for each slide in the PPT. You can review the tutorial using this link: adding speaker notes (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to your presentation. You can also click on the following links to view the Accessibility Statement (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. , and the Privacy Policy (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
      • 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 5 - 7 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.
  • It is required that the Microsoft PowerPoint presentation include the use of a voice or speaker notes. If you choose to use the voice capabilities within PowerPoint, you must include your citations in the speaker notes for each slide.
• Be visually engaging.
