NURS-4220K Leadership Competencies-Summer

Storyboard Instructions

The Practice Experience Project Storyboard is a brief, visual summary of a completed quality improvement initiative. The storyboard highlights key aspects of a quality improvement effort by documenting the Practice Experience Project from beginning to end.

The course template uses a PowerPoint format to complete this assignment. You only need to provide two slides, no more. The first slide is the summary of your project; the second slide is the reference page. You will need to choose the most pertinent information from your practice experience and Capstone Paper to complete the Storyboard. No voiceover is required.

The completed storyboard is submitted for grading. Optional: You may submit your storyboard to the group discussion area and share your presentation with your classmates and instructor.

How to Approach the Quality Improvement Storyboard

Summarize the QI project: Present the practice problem, why it mattered, baseline data, and the purpose of the project. Keep the information brief and measurable.
Explain the intervention: Identify what was changed or implemented, such as staff education, a new protocol, checklist, rounding process, or other evidence-based strategy. Mention relevant leadership approaches or QI tools such as PDSA, root cause analysis, or a fishbone diagram.
Present the outcomes: Show what changed after the intervention using measurable results. Include improvements, reductions, or other relevant project findings.
Address sustainability: Explain how the improvement can be maintained, including continued monitoring, staff education, audits, policy changes, or assigned responsibilities.
Create the storyboard: Use concise bullet points, headings, visuals, and a logical flow rather than long paragraphs. Include a second slide with 3–5 key scholarly references in APA format.
