Hi guys,
You all did a fantastic job! The information presented was relevant to health literacy and how clients can become more health literate. The problems and solutions were stated well within the slideshow. I initially needed clarification with the environmental scan-more specifically, points one and two. Were those points meant to be background information? Points 3-5 were the three solutions I did not find clear until slide 6. As the presentation went on, the solutions became more apparent and were thoroughly discussed. I suggest clearly stating the purpose of the points on the slide and leaving the solution points out of the environmental scan. The content presented was interesting, well organized and flowed well with each presenter, and all information spoken was supported with the reference list and citation.
Furthermore, your font size on the slide show was good. I could read the text well and did not need to squint. The presentation was very aesthetically pleasing—the pictures incorporated on each slide matched the colour scheme of your presentation, which I loved! Very creative! The presentation was clear; each presenter spoke at a reasonable volume, remained engaged throughout, and spoke on relevant information about each solution. Everyone sounded like they understood the content and spoke with confidence.
All information on the slide show was backed up with the reference list and citations. I could access the reference list easily and noted all references used were within seven years. The written components on the slide show had no spelling or grammar errors. I appreciated the introduction and conclusion of the presentation.
Fabulous job everyone!
Hello guys!
This was a good presentation that was well laid out and easy to understand with text size that was easy to read. They identified their 3 choices as well as their priority choice. I did find that they had lots of text on their slides that provided lots of information but was a bit overwhelming. They had pictures that were relevant to the slides, but more pictures or graphs may have helped reduce the amount of text. They did spend some time looking down reading scripts but they still all made eye contact and projected their voices well.
In the first solution they explained it well and how it would be beneficial in Kamloops, but I never hear what the program they wanted to implement was. I also never heard if it was already present in Kamloops as they just said BC. But they did explain why and how they wanted to use it as a solution.
The second point was also well explained completely about why they think it was necessary and what it would bring to Kamloops. They provided lots of information supporting bringing the program to Kamloops. I did not really understand what specific program it was that they were bringing in, but I did know exactly what it would do. I also missed if there was some form of this program in Kamloops already, but they did explain the form that Canada has of this program.
The third and priority choice was very well explained, and they provided lots of information about how it would benefit Kamloops and potential barriers to its implementation. Although I completely understood the purpose of the program, I did not understand what specific program or solution they were trying to implement. I also did not hear if Kamloops has a form of it present already or not.
They used literature throughout the presentation to support there reasoning. The references they used were credible and recent. They had more then 10 scholarly references and other resources like information webpages to fully support their presentation.
Overall, it was well done with lots of information. A bit more clarity around what programs were being implemented would have been nice but they did explain exactly what thy would do. I really liked how they brought a student’s perspective into the presentation. They also did a good job of identifying how each solution could be modified to be specific to each patient.
Exceptional Work all of you!
Hi team,
I would like to start by saying good work on your presentation! The slide show was creative and I particularly appreciated the strategic use of visuals, like the person leaning on the oversized phone, which added a creative touch. The emphasis on key points through bolding helped distill the information, making it coherent and easy to follow.
Regarding the environmental scan, the inclusion of three options—interventions for improving health literacy, tailored health literacy levels, and general interventions—was comprehensive. However, I found the overlap between the third option and the second slightly confusing; perhaps exploring a distinct alternative in the environmental scan could have added more depth and clarity.
In the first solution on self-management support, I admired the integration of personal autonomy, facilitating behavioural and cognitive changes essential for sustainable, enduring transformation. The second solution, focusing on organizational change through the implementation of health policies over a decade and a half, presents a commendable approach at a policy level, benefiting the residents of Kamloops. The contrast between these two solutions was striking, both offering robust internal and external support mechanisms. The strength and challenges to both solutions was clearly identified.
Lastly the third solution, including modifications to communication, which is your teams priority solution highlighted a great stat of 40-89% of individuals forgetting what was talked about during health care appointments. There was mention of implementing this through teach back methods, different communication formats with pictures, and reducing literacy demands to improve patient health outcomes however I sense that while these are in practice, they might not be as extensively implemented as necessary. On the choice of priority solution, personally, I lean towards favoring either the first or second solution for implementation in Kamloops as the third option is in effect. However, I acknowledge this perspective is subjective.
I want to underline the exceptional job you all did on staying on track with the information. I appreciate the nuance in addressing the distinction between immigrant low literacy, which could merit a separate, in-depth discussion, and the broader context of general low literacy. Additionally, well done on adhering to APA formatting in all 16 references that are a combination of peer reviewed articles & websites presented in alphabetical order.
Job well done!
First off, I want to say great job guys! Your presentation was awesome and health literacy was a great topic in regards to how relevant it is in healthcare, and how hard it can be to spot.
The first solution, although not the priority solution, you guys did an amazing job on highlighting the importance of self-management. Capacity building is an important skill that can increase health outcomes without having to spend a whole lot of money. Also, great job in highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of this solution. Although it helps individuals set goals and improves self-management skills, it’s also hard when individuals lack motivation or social support.
Secondly, Great job in highlighting the importance of organizational change as well. This can not only help increase the health literacy of individuals but can also help solve any systemic issues within healthcare. You guys also did a great job in highlighting the strengths of organizational change focusing on how this solution can drastically improve the actionability of diabetes management. However I did have some trouble understanding how the absence of visual aids played a role as a weakness to this solution.
Lastly, your guy’s priority solution was well thought of and provided great insight as to why you guys chose this solution as a priority. I definitely agree that modifying the way we communicate with our patients is something that we have autonomy over and can use our clinical judgment based on what we think our patients’ literacy levels are. You guys did a great job in highlighting both strengths and weaknesses of this solution and that this solution is not well utilized in today’s healthcare systems. However, I did think that this solution was broad in the sense that you guys highlighted more interventions within this solution such as implementing the “teach back method” and reducing literacy demands. I do feel like this portion of the presentation could benefit if you guys were to specify which intervention would be the most beneficial for addressing health literacy.
Aesthetically the presentation was pleasing to the eye and was also easy to follow. The images were relevant and kept to the color scheme using light colors. Speaking of, the colors were also aesthetically relevant, pleasing to the eyes while also not overwhelming the user with loud colors. However, I did find some of the slides to be quite wordy which overwhelmed me a little. Condensing the amount of words per paragraph or even just highlighting a few key points of each paragraph could benefit the presentation.
References were scholarly, relevant and within 5 years. All facts on the presentation were cited correctly using APA. Correct APA formatting was implemented.
Overall, great job guys!
Within this presentation the group successfully stated their three solutions as ‘Self-Management Support’, ‘Organizational Change’ and ‘Modifications to Communication’. During the presentation Group Two verbally outlined the need of ‘Self-Management Support’ very well, however it was not as clearly outlined on the presentation itself. The environmental scan was outlined well and previously to ‘Solution One’ slides. It was clear that multiple resources were used to establish this resource. Solution Ones strengths and challenges were closely balanced with challenges having an additional point compared to strengths; showing the solution has more weaknesses than strengths and furthers its position as not their priority. Group two’s application in terms of its effectiveness and areas of improvement for the patient were clearly outlined. Unfortunately, there was no application to Kamloops or B.C. Also, it is not clear whether this is/isn’t their priority solution and why. In all, this solution was done well but was missing a few vital components.
The importance, effectiveness, and relevance of the second solution were clearly outlined and the environmental scan was well executed and stated previously to this solutions slides. The group thoroughly broke down supporting references from Australia and how it improved the situation within Australia. This solutions application into Canada was outlined as well as the main restraints and how the Australia initiative could improve it. Rational to the priority of this solution was provided/kept short and to the point. It clearly outlined the importance of this solution while still outlining why it was not their priority. Overall, this solution was done very well.
Solution three outlined the need through the solutions description and rational. I enjoyed the bold point of 40-80% of medical information being forgotten post office visit. This was a direct and practical application of why this resource is important. The environmental scan was done well, and existing resources were labeled within the slide. This solution was well supported by the groups outlined resources. The group clearly outlined the strengths and challenges, breaking the challenges down and outlining characteristics that would limit this solution. The solutions application was well outlined under the intervention’s points. This solution was successfully outlined with reasoning by the group as their primary solution.
The overall aesthetics of this presentation were pleasing, including creative elements such as the chosen imagery and consistent colour pattern. The images were complimentary to the presentation. The font was readable, however the slides felt too word heavy, it might have been more enjoyable for the viewer if the slides were more point form. The presenters for the most part spoke well and were easily heard. Unfortunately, there was no class engagement during the presentation, however, the question period was conducted very well. All references were integrated very well into their respective parts of the presentation. All points were accredited well and following the appropriate format. All references excluding the 2015 resource from the CAN were within the 5-year date requirement from this presentation. All references used are credible and properly sited within the reference page.
