Hi Rabbia,
Great job on your presentation! I like the focus on the different measures you choose to be evaluated. While at first glance, they may not seem to be related, they do end up telling a story on the overall care measures provided by Howard County General Hospital. If the stakeholders at a hospital deem that improvements in areas should be made, this approach allows them to either choose a broad spectrum of areas for improvements, or to pick one area and just focus on that. Either approach can help improve the overall timely and effective care.
Your slides were easy to read and understand. The narration you proved allowed for further explanation of each measures and what was happening in the charts. It seems as Howard County seemed to stay relatively consistent in the measures that were chosen. I’d be curious to see why that is since time can influence a lot of outside factors that can affect these. Great job!
