Instructions
You are the compliance manager of a medium

facility providing care for the community. Your facility has hospitalists
employed and grants privileges to physicians in the community.
Using MS PowerPoint as
a presentation tool, prepare an informational report about the case from the
following article available within the Library. Search for the title of this
article using the library search tool.
Roberts, R. (2003). Seven reasons family
doctors get sued and how to reduce your risk. Family Practice
Management. 10(3), 29–34.
·
Choose one reason “doctors get sued” from the article above and
let this be the basis of your presentation.
·
Add speaker notes to your presentation discussing how your theme
choice impacts physician decision-making in creating a patient healthcare plan.
·
In other words, explain how physician liability concerns relate
to your topic choice.
·
As you explain these concerns, include how the regulatory
environment in which providers operate at times can hinder the ability for a
provider to do what is necessary for patients. Provide an example or scenario
illustrating these limitations.
·
Further, address the cost to the facility in addressing such
concerns.
·
Lastly, provide solutions to your chosen reason for being sued.
Requirements
Your presentation should include, but is not
limited to, the following:
1.
A minimum of 20 slides including a title page and reference
page(s).The title slide should include the title, your name, and the date you
are submitting the presentation.
Tips for effective PowerPoint presentations:
·
Clear and simple slides are the most effective.
·
Font size: no smaller for 44 for titles on a slide and no
smaller than 32 otherwise. Short phrases or single words are best.
·
If you use graphs, charts, and diagrams, they should be very
simple.
·
Busily designed slides are very distracting. Avoid using busy
patterns and too many colors. One theme for all slides is a great way to unify
the presentation.
·
Use a minimum of words for text and title frames: seven vertical
and seven horizontal words in maximum per slide. Less is better.
·
Upper- and lower-case lettering should be used: no text in ALL
CAPS.
·
Vary the size of lettering to emphasize headings and subheadings
— but avoid using more than three font sizes per frame.
·
Use Arial or Times New Roman font style.
·
Try to maintain the same or similar font size from frame to
frame — even if some frames have less copy — avoid a “lonely” word on
a screen.
·
Contrasting colors work best. A good rule of thumb: use a white
background color with dark color for text. Do not use bright colors in a
professional presentation. Use black text for this task.
Keep color scheme consistent throughout your
presentation. Changing colors and type styles can be very confusing and
distract from your message. One carefully selected design used on all slides
makes for a more attractive, professional look.
