Introduction
As a practicing professional, you are likely to present educational inservices or training to staff pertaining to quality improvement (QI)
measures of safety improvement interventions. Such in-services and
training sessions should be presented in a creative and innovative
manner to hold the audience’s attention and promote knowledge
acquisition and skill application that changes practice for the better. The
teaching sessions may include a presentation, audience participation via
simulation or other interactive strategy, audiovisual media, and
participant learning evaluation.
The use of in-services and/or training sessions has positive implications
for nursing practice by increasing staff confidence when providing care to
specific patient populations. It also allows for a safe and nonthreatening
environment where staff nurses can practice their skills prior to a real
patient event. Participation in learning sessions fosters a team approach,
collaboration, patient safety, and greater patient satisfaction rates in the
health care environment (Patel & Wright, 2018).
As you prepare to complete the assessment, consider the impact of inservice training on patient outcomes as well as practice outcomes for
staff nurses. Be sure to support your thoughts on the effectiveness of

patients by examining the literature and established best practices.
You are encouraged to explore the AONE Nurse Executive
Competencies Review activity before you develop the Improvement Plan
In-Service Presentation. This activity will help you review your
understanding of the AONE Nurse Executive Competencies—especially
those related to competencies relevant to developing an effective training
session and presentation. This is for your own practice and selfassessment, and demonstrates your engagement in the course.

presentation with detailed presenter’s notes representing the material
you would deliver at an in-service session to raise awareness of your
chosen safety improvement initiative focusing on a specific patient safety

to test out new ideas or practices related to the safety improvement
initiative.

slides to address all the necessary elements. Remember to use

reflect what you would actually say if you were delivering the
presentation to an audience. This presentation does NOT require
