Your talking points should be submitted in a Word document. Your talking points should include the pros and cons of implementing a QI program.
Upon completion of your talking points, please prepare a PowerPoint presentation where you will explain each talking point to the CEO so they clearly understand and can answer questions from the Board.
APA formatting for the talking points, and proper grammar, punctuation, and form are required.
a. Length of PowerPoint should be at 7-10 slides.
b. Highlight specific pros and cons of QI programs.
c. Use the Notes area on each slide as needed to expand on the key points.
