Team Technology Presentation Guidelines and Grading Rubric
Objective
The purpose of this Team Technology Presentation is to provide students the opportunity to explore a technology used in the healthcare
system. The project requires students to work in a small team together in order to describe how this technology supports the patient care
experience through the use of information technology and information structures. Additionally, the student will explore the experience of
clear and concise communication skills, when interacting with peers, who may or may not be from the same geographical area, or campus as
they are. The final product and discussion/critique of this project is to be completed online with the class in Unit 8.
Course Outcomes
This assignment enables the student to meet the following Course Outcomes:
CO 1: Describe patient-care technologies as appropriate to address the needs of a diverse patient population. (PO 1)
CO 5: Identify patient care technologies, information systems, and communication devices that support safe nursing practice. (PO 5)
CO 6: Discuss the principles of data integrity, professional ethics, and legal requirements related to data security, regulatory requirements,
confidentiality, and client’s right to privacy. (PO 6)
CO 8: Discuss the value of best evidence as a driving force to institute change in delivery of nursing care. (PO 8)
Guidelines
• This is a Team or Group project. You will be assigned to groups, and given a topic (According to class size—typically 3-5 students
will be in a group).
Please do not ask to change groups, etc. as the group will not be changed. As nurses, we need to be able to participate as a part of a
multidisciplinary team, no matter where we are located, and regardless of whether or not we are familiar with a particular individual!
All group members will receive the same grade for each deliverable, UNLESS it is determined that a group member has not been
participating in assigned portions of the project. This is why documentation and communication in the assigned Team discussion
threads is essential. EVERYONE must complete/sign the Team Charter Form and place it in your designated Group discussion
thread under “Team Collaboration” in Course Home.
1. Communicate with your team members in the “Team Collaboration” Area of your Course Home, located under Week 8.

***You will use the Group Project Team Collaboration Threads in the Course home as a “meeting” or communication venue. Be
sure you are documenting in YOUR Team’s discussion area, identified by a color assigned to your team! This will also serve as
documentation/verification for group members should there be instances where a group member is not contributing to the project.
It is up to the team to communicate this to the faculty. ONE designated group member is required to submit the presentation in the
drop box ***. The team leader will also need to submit the speaker notes in a WORD document, which will be going through
Turnitin as well. If more than one team member submits the project, the Turnitin report will be very high, and Academic Integrity
will be a concern for your presentation. YOU COULD THEN RECEIVE A ZERO GRADE, so PLEASE do not make this mistake!
The Power Point WILL be going through Turnitin, so be certain to carefully paraphrase and cite your work! This includes the
SPEAKER NOTES! See above paragraph.

Best Practices in Using PowerPoint
TOP OF PAGE
The following are best practices in preparing this project.
• Be creative, but informative with your presentation. Use visual communication to further clarify and support the written part of your
presentation. You could use example graphs, diagrams, photographs, flowcharts, maps, drawings, animation, video clips, pictograms, tables,
and Gantt charts.
• Review all directions thoroughly.
• Cite all sources within the slide show as well as in the reference slide.
• Proofread prior to final submission.
• Spell check for spelling and grammar errors prior to final submission.
• Abide by the CCN academic integrity policy. Remember, this DOES go through Turnitin! (ONE GROUP MEMBER ONLY is to
submit the final presentation!) Please notify your Faculty who will be responsible for submitting the final presentation.
Don’t forget to use Speaker’s notes, to avoid overcrowding your slides! The purpose of the speaker’s notes area is to “show” the
reader what you would “say” if you were presenting the information. This area should not include direct quotes from your research,
but still should include paraphrased and properly cited information.
Please see sample Power point slide below, showing you the area where Speaker’s notes go. If you were presenting this in a public
forum, and the Power Point is in presentation mode, your audience will not see your notes!

SCENARIO
You will be assigned an example of informatics that is utilized in the hospital. You and your group will review the history and current use of
the chosen technology, the chosen technology’s impact in healthcare and nursing, advantages and disadvantages of the chosen technology,
and issues surrounding the use of the chosen technology.
DIRECTIONS
Begin to research your assigned technology EARLY! The topic, along with your group members, will be assigned to your team in
Week 1, and can be located in Doc Sharing (team discussion forum for this will be found in the Course Home). Please be considerate
of your team members! Remember, if you do not participate/collaborate, you will NOT GET CREDIT! So in other words, waiting until
Saturday of the week the assignment is due will NOT work for this presentation. You all must agree on how you will divide the work, and
make sure to set deadlines for all members of your team.

Team Technology Presentation Guidelines and Grading Rubric
Title slide should introduce the assigned technology and introduce the group members working on the project.
Provide an introduction of the technology which should briefly describe the technology and the purpose for the technology in healthcare.
The introduction should establish a professional tone for the presentation.
Describe significant findings that prompted the development of the technology. In other words, talk about the problems with patient safety
that prompted the use of this technology! Discuss the history (what had been done previously?) and current use of the assigned
technology in healthcare and describe three priority goals and rationales of using the technology.
Discuss the impact of the assigned technology on professional nursing practice. How has it increased patient safety? Be sure to provide
(correctly cited) statistical support! This is a very impor
tant part of justifying HOW this has (or has not!) changed patient safety for the
better.
Identify how the use of the technology impacts patient care delivery, quality care measures and monitoring, as well as, risk management
(privacy, confidentiality, and security). Based on what you have found in the literature, discuss why the technology has increased
effectiveness of patient care and safety.
Analyze the effectiveness of the chosen technology including issues related to ethical, legal and infrastructure/operational considerations.
This may include things such as budget, costs, etc. How might it affect a particular population and/or geographic region?
Provide examples and statically significant data to support your examples.
Identify two advantages AND disadvantages of EACH of the assigned technology looking at the:
Patient’s vantage point or perspective
Nurse’s vantage point (Does it help the nurse do his/her job more efficiently, and help to keep patients safer? Provide
Healthcare organization’s vantage point—how does this impact the organization from a Regulatory (The Joint, Department of Health,
budgetary stand point?
Based on what you have found in the literature, discuss how the disadvantages and the issues surrounding the chosen technology can be
addressed and solved. Provide statically significant data to support your findings.
Summarize all key points of the presentation in your final summary slide! What did you learn about this technology? Did your research on it
surprise you?
