She has asked you to develop a set of talking points on the pros and cons of common measurement techniques used in healthcare that she can use the next time she runs into a Board member.Talking points are used to quickly explain something by condensing it into a compelling, but easily digestible, list. If the goal is to increase support for a QI program, the talking points must provide the ideas she needs to convey in order to achieve the goal.Your talking points should be submitted in a Word document minimum 2 pages. Your talking points should include the pros and cons of implementing a QI program.Upon completion of your talking points, please prepare a PowerPoint presentation 6 slides with narration where you will explain each talking point to the CEO so they clearly understand and can answer questions from the Board.APA formatting for the talking points, and proper grammar, punctuation, and form are required.Length of PowerPoint is secondary to the quality of the      presentation as a whole.Highlight specific pros and cons of QI programs.Use the Notes area on each slide as needed to expand on      the key points.
