**ASSESSMENT**
[Professional Presentation: Addressing Healthcare Disparities in a Particular Population](https://tempolearning.brightspace.com/content/enforced/309763-XD3002/Assessment.html)
For this Competency Assessment, you will prepare a PowerPoint presentation to educate professionals in your healthcare field on healthcare disparities experienced by vulnerable populations, with attention to one particular population that you choose and with interventions you recommend to address healthcare disparities and improve health equity and outcomes for the focus group.
**To Prepare:**
· Review the outline of required content under “To Complete Your Competency Assessment.” Keep in mind that the purpose of your presentation is to educate fellow professionals in your particular healthcare field. You will begin with a general review of the social determinants of health, common healthcare disparities, and common causes of those disparities. Then, you will move to the example of a specific population to bring to the attention of your fellow professionals.
· Identify the focus population. This may be a group in your community or region and/or a population of particular interest to your professional role. The focus population should be a vulnerable group based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability, or other determining factor(s). Be sure to choose a population for which you can find reliable information.
· Gather key data about the population to create a brief profile of this group.
· Identify one (1) or two (2) major healthcare disparities experienced by the focus population to address in your presentation. Concentrate on healthcare disparities that are having the greatest impact on this group and for which you can recommend interventions.
· Explain causes of these healthcare disparities at the societal level, such as issues of economics, education, environment, and social views, including racism and other types of prejudice. Look for examples of the impact on the focus group in terms of patient/client experience and quality care.
· Identify up to three (3) specific interventions that could reduce or remove one (1) or more of the major healthcare disparities for your focus population. Provide examples of how the interventions can improve health equity and outcomes for the focus group.
· To promote advocacy, consider how to conclude your presentation with a call to fellow professionals to address healthcare disparities.
· Access the PowerPoint template to prepare your presentation. Review the following resources for support in developing your presentation and adding audio narration:

For this Competency Assessment, you will prepare a PowerPoint presentation to educate professionals in your healthcare field on healthcare disparities experienced by vulnerable populations, with attention to one particular population that you choose and with interventions you recommend to address healthcare disparities and improve health equity and outcomes for the focus group.
**To Prepare:**
· Review the outline of required content under “To Complete Your Competency Assessment.” Keep in mind that the purpose of your presentation is to educate fellow professionals in your particular healthcare field. You will begin with a general review of the social determinants of health, common healthcare disparities, and common causes of those disparities. Then, you will move to the example of a specific population to bring to the attention of your fellow professionals.
· Identify the focus population. This may be a group in your community or region and/or a population of particular interest to your professional role. The focus population should be a vulnerable group based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability, or other determining factor(s). Be sure to choose a population for which you can find reliable information.
· Gather key data about the population to create a brief profile of this group.
· Identify one (1) or two (2) major healthcare disparities experienced by the focus population to address in your presentation. Concentrate on healthcare disparities that are having the greatest impact on this group and for which you can recommend interventions.
· Explain causes of these healthcare disparities at the societal level, such as issues of economics, education, environment, and social views, including racism and other types of prejudice. Look for examples of the impact on the focus group in terms of patient/client experience and quality care.
· Identify up to three (3) specific interventions that could reduce or remove one (1) or more of the major healthcare disparities for your focus population. Provide examples of how the interventions can improve health equity and outcomes for the focus group.
· To promote advocacy, consider how to conclude your presentation with a call to fellow professionals to address healthcare disparities.
· Access the PowerPoint template to prepare your presentation. Review the following resources for support in developing your presentation and adding audio narration:

Create a PowerPoint presentation of 9–11 slides with narration, plus title and reference slides, to include the following:
· Explain how social determinants of health influence individual healthcare experiences and perspectives.
· Describe common examples of healthcare disparities.
· Describe societal influences that cause common healthcare disparities.
· Identify a specific vulnerable population—based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability, or other determining factor(s)—who experiences healthcare disparity. Provide a brief profile of this group based on the social determinants of health.
· Analyze causes of one (1) or two (2) major healthcare disparities experienced by the focus group.
· For each major healthcare disparity experienced by the focus group, explain the impact on patient/client experience and care.
· For each major healthcare disparity experienced by the focus group, explain up to three (3) recommended interventions.
· Explain how the recommended intervention(s) can improve health equity and outcomes for the focus group.
· Conclude with a call for advocacy to motivate your professional audience to address healthcare disparities for other vulnerable populations.
