Committee Progress Presentation: Twelve Slides for the Health Center's Quality Committee on the Same-Day Behavioral Health Introduction at Its Midpoint, Ending on a Decision
Format
Twelve slides, ten minutes, with the speaker's notes beneath each, for the health center's quality committee on 20 April 2027.
Slide 1: The Aim, as Approved
On screen: the aim as worded in the charter, version 1.1, approved 9 February 2027, with the charter's date.
Notes: "Everything that follows is read against this sentence. It hasn't changed since you approved it."
Slide 2: Status
On screen: Done: training, launch, hold flag fix, smart phrase, midpoint data, missing data decisions. Running: the 12-week test, weekly counts, next-day calls. Not started: the remaining 30-day outcomes, the May staff survey, the final evaluation.
Notes: "Three states only. Nothing on this slide is 'nearly done.' If something moves between states before the next meeting, the next status slide will show the date it moved."
Slide 3: Departures From the Design
On screen: four lines. The front desk overbooked the afternoon open slot three times in the first week; fixed 9 March. The smart phrase arrived three weeks late; free text used meanwhile. The Spanish patient question was reworded on 12 April. Patients waiting for the consultant now sit outside the consultant's office instead of holding an exam room, agreed 13 April.
Notes: "None changes the population, the measures or the dose. The rewording and the waiting area change came from staff feedback. One data handling deviation was reported to the program committee on 22 March and resolved."
Slide 4: Coverage
On screen: visits from the first of March through the ninth of April, all sessions at the one site; data pulled on 12 April.
Notes: "Every figure that follows covers these dates and nothing else."
Slides 5 and 6: Is It Happening
These two slides carry the process figures, which the committee needs before any outcome. On screen: 128 eligible visits; 96 of 104 messages during behavioral health hours; 61 of 104 same-day contacts; 52 of 67 next-day calls by noon, 78%, conservative.
Notes: "These are the same numbers as in the midpoint summary sent to you last week. The change is in use."
Slide 7: The Outcome So Far
The committee will look at this slide longest, so its caveat is on the screen as well as in the notes. On screen: visits 1 to 12 March: 26 of 46 completed contact within 30 days, 57%. Baseline: 189 of 580, 33%.
Notes: "A difference, not an effect. Two weeks of outcomes, and the first weeks of any change get extra attention. The run chart needs more points before it can show a shift (Perla et al., 2011)."
Slide 8: Balancing Measures
The committee asked at approval to see whether the change cost something elsewhere. On screen: median visit 55 minutes, baseline 52; missed follow-ups 18%, baseline 15%.
Notes: "Both moved the way the design warned. Both are inside the stop rule."
Slide 9: By Language
This slide answers the question the committee raised when it approved the design. On screen: same-day contacts 34 of 59 English-preferring, 27 of 45 Spanish-preferring.
Notes: "No sign of the pattern one study found (Horevitz et al., 2015), though the numbers are small."
Slide 10: What Staff Said
Staff views are summarized as counts by step, as in the feedback write-up. On screen: messaging easy, 7 of 17; waits up to 25 minutes, 6 of 17; Spanish wording, 4 of 17.
Notes: "Two requests would change the design: video joins and including scores of 8 or 9. Neither will be adopted mid-test."
Slide 11: What Is Still to Come
The slide lists what the committee will see next and when. On screen: 30-day outcomes through June; staff survey in May; evaluation in July, with the full run chart.
Slide 12: The Decision
On screen: "Continue the test unchanged to 24 May, and hold the two design requests for the next cycle?"
Notes: "That's the decision I'm asking you for today. A yes keeps the test clean; a change now would split the results into two shorter periods that would be harder to read."
Questions the Committee May Ask
Will the result last after the project? The answer: ownership of every object has been assigned, and the open slots are now part of the consultant's standard template. Is the consultant overloaded? The answer: same-day contacts average about ten a week, within the two daily open slots, but waits of up to 25 minutes show the slots are sometimes full. What about the patients seen after hours? The answer: about one in five eligible visits fall outside behavioral health hours and rely on the next-day call, which reaches about four in five by noon.
What Happens After the Decision
The committee's answer sets the next three months. If the committee agrees to continue unchanged, the test runs to 24 May, the staff survey goes out in the last week, and 30-day outcomes for the final weeks are complete by late June. The evaluation, with the full run chart, the balancing measures, the language split and the survey, comes to the committee in July. If the committee asks for a change mid-test, the student will record the date and report results before and after it separately.
How This Presentation Connects to Earlier Reports
Every figure on these slides appears in the midpoint data summary sent on 13 April and the missing data memo of 14 April, with the same coverage dates. A committee member comparing them will find the same numbers, which is deliberate: a progress report that changes its figures between documents loses trust.
What Is Not Being Asked
Approval of either design request, which waits for the evaluation. Any change to the aim or measures. Any new resources.
Rehearsal
Timed at nine minutes in a rehearsal with the director of behavioral health, who asked that slide 10 show the count of staff asked as well as answered, which it now does in the notes.
Why the Presentation Is Built This Way
The committee approved the aim and will judge the result against it, so the aim comes first. Implementation and effectiveness are reported separately because the committee needs to know whether the change is happening before it can judge whether it works (Proctor et al., 2011).

The Chamberlain NR 707A Week 8 instructions
Build ten to fifteen slides with full-sentence notes beneath. Open with the aim exactly as approved, since everything after is read against it. Report status using three states only: done, running and not started. Give departures from the design a slide of their own, with each departure's effect and whether the committee has already accepted it. Put coverage before figures on data slides. Use the same numbers as your earlier reports, so the committee can trust them. Prepare answers to the questions the committee is likely to ask. End on a decision you want the committee to make, and explain what each answer would mean for the project. Keep each slide to one point, with the detail in the notes rather than on screen.
How the NR 707A Week 8 example is put together
The sample's first slide shows the aim as worded in the charter, approved 9 February 2027. Status lists training, launch, fixes and midpoint data as done; the test, weekly counts and calls as running; remaining outcomes, survey and evaluation as not started. Departures cover the overbooked slot, the late note phrase, reworded Spanish and the waiting area change. Data slides cover 1 March to 9 April: 128 eligible visits, 61 same-day contacts, 26 of 46 outcomes so far against a 33% baseline, balancing measures and a language split. Staff views and two held requests follow. Prepared answers address sustainability and consultant load, and the final slide asks to continue unchanged to 24 May. The notes give timings, so the talk fits the committee's fifteen-minute slot with time for questions.
NR 707A Week 8 rubric: what full points look like
Progress presentations lose most when they paraphrase the aim, inviting the committee to wonder whether it has changed. Next are status slides with vague states such as nearly done or on track, which hide what is actually finished. Many presentations bury departures from the design in passing remarks. Figures that differ from earlier reports, even slightly, undermine trust in all of them. Data slides without coverage dates cannot be compared with anything. Presentations that end with a thank-you rather than a decision leave the committee with nothing to do. Unprepared answers to obvious questions use up the meeting's time. Slides crowded with text also push the speaker into reading aloud, which the committee notices at once.
Common NR 707A Week 8 mistakes, and how to avoid them
Preparing a short presentation for a committee that has already approved your aim means showing progress without overstating it. Working from your earlier reports, we can quote the aim, build a three-state status slide and give departures their own slide. We can also help you keep figures consistent, prepare answers and end on a clear decision. Rehearsing once with your mentor, timed, usually shows which slide needs fewer words. The presentation is yours. We can also help you trim notes so each slide carries one point and the speaker's copy says the rest.

NR 707A Week 8 questions, answered
What separates this from the presentation given at the end of the project?
Time and purpose. A closing presentation reports finished results and what should happen next, and it is delivered once the collection is complete. This one is delivered mid-flight, reports against a plan rather than against an outcome, and exists to get decisions made while there are still weeks in which to act on them.
What if we are behind the approved schedule?
Then the deck says so on the status slide, with dates, and spends its remaining slides on what would put it right and what the committee would need to approve for that to happen. Committees see behind schedule constantly. What they respond badly to is finding out from a figure buried on slide eleven that the writer plainly knew about in week three.
Do the slides need a limitations section?
Usually a short one, framed as what the data cannot yet show rather than as final limitations, which belong to the term that reports results. A line on coverage, a line on the records still missing and a line on any departure that narrows what can be claimed is normally enough at this point, with the detail waiting in the notes.
Where can I find a free NR 707A Week 8 sample paper?
All twelve slides for the quality committee, with the speaker's notes beneath each, are set out on this page.
What decision does the NR 707A Week 8 presentation ask for?
To continue the test unchanged to 24 May and hold the two design requests, video joins and lower scores, for the next cycle.
