Elevator Speech – Responses

Responding to Afoma Ezeala

Hello Ezeala,

Thank you for sharing your post. Notably, your elevator speech effectively highlights the financial and operational benefits of Dragon Medical One. I am delighted with the address given to clinician burnout and documentation efficiency. To add on, incorporating a user-centered implementation strategy could strengthen your case. Essentially, this is because healthcare decision-makers often want to see how new technologies integrate into existing workflows alongside the compelling element of ROI and efficiency (Choi et al., 2020). Also, adding a brief mention of training and user adoption of metrics from similar implementations would be valuable. Notably, this could increase the buy-in of the idea. Demonstrations of HIPAA compliance and EHR system integration capabilities in advance would prevent anticipated resistance to the software. The integration of Dragon Medical One operates smoothly between Epic and Cerner systems without affecting patient care operations. Besides, adding operational functionality and clinical usability components would further strengthen the solid financial benefits in your current pitch.

Hello Rodriguez,

Thank you for sharing your post with us. Your elevator speech presents a compelling case regarding GE Venue Go ultrasound machines with an impressive ROI. Your argument is strong. To add on, emphasizing the broader strategic advantage that is due to the company would be valuable. For example, one could explain how the technology positions the organization as an industry leader in providing point-of-care diagnostics. Examples such as reducing ER wait times and fewer patient transfers would provide major support on how investment relates to real-world impacts (Knighten & Waxman, 2024). Further, the credibility of the elevation speech can be boosted by addressing possible implementation barriers. For instance, including a line that wins the confidence of investors by emphasizing how no workflow disruptions will be eliminated through targeted training and phased integration of clinicians could aid in reaffirming the investment’s value. Overall, the post is persuasive. Great job!

Elevator Speech – Responses

Elevator Speech
Have you ever been in a situation where you wish you’d said something differently? Perhaps in a job interview when asked to tell the interviewer about yourself, or maybe on a first date, or when questioned during an academic or professional presentation. Any of these scenarios can leave you thinking afterward about your reply, wondering if you said something the way you intended or if you could have presented it in a better manner. In situations like these, an elevator speech can come to the rescue. A well-developed elevator speech that is clear and succinct can be a lifesaver when you are looking for the right words.
For this Discussion, you examine the role of an elevator speech in defending your idea for a new healthcare product or service. You also develop a speech that will help set your idea apart as memorable, unique, and of value to the organization.

WEEKLY RESOURCES

To Prepare
Reflect on the most significant talking points about the healthcare product or service solution you have proposed. These points should be those you think will educate decision makers and other stakeholders on the benefits of your idea as well as clarify the business case (including financial points, budgetary impacts, SWOT takeaways, cost-benefit analysis takeaways, etc.).
Consider how you might highlight these significant talking points in an elevator speech to stakeholders.
By Day 3 of Week 9
Start by writing a summary that defines major points you want to include in the elevator speech. This summary should be supported with scholarly references and properly formatted to meet the rubric standards. Use the summary to identify significant talking points that you will use for your elevator speech. Post a 2- to 3-paragraph draft of an “elevator speech” designed to both educate and “sell” decision makers on the healthcare product or service you have proposed. Your elevator speech summary should address what you believe are the significant talking points necessary to educate decision makers and other stakeholders on the benefits of your idea as well as clarify the business case. Remember, an elevator speech should be approximately 30-60 seconds.

By Day 6 of Week 9
Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses and respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days and critique their elevator speech by offering supporting or contrary ideas regarding their talking points and/or suggesting additional points to be made. Be specific and provide examples.
