Format:

 

The activity will emulate the format of the popular TV show “Shark Tank,” where SLPs will pitch their proposals to a panel of “Sharks” comprising stakeholders.

Healthcare executives, legislative bodies( licensing board, state associations, state senators) and technology experts, patients and other health care providers.

 

Participant Requirements:

 

Participants must prepare a compelling presentation outlining the importance of the proposal, its potential impact on patient care, and the expected outcomes. Each participant will have a limited time (5-7 minutes) to present their pitch.

 

Evaluation Criteria:

 

The panel of Sharks will evaluate each proposal based on the following criteria:

  • Identify intended audience/stakeholders
  • Who/What are you advocating (whose voice are you speaking out for)
  • Ability to advocate for those who are not in your field

If appropriate, your proposal should include the following areas:

Clinical Impact: How will the proposal enhance the quality of swallowing assessments and patient care?

Innovation: Does the proposal represent a significant advancement in swallowing

Cost-Benefit Analysis: Is the investment justified in terms of potential patient outcomes and healthcare cost savings?

Feasibility: Are there logistical considerations or implementation challenges that need to be addressed?

 

Judging Process:

 

After all presentations are complete, each group will choose a delegate to present to the panel of Sharks (5-7 minutes), who will then deliberate and provide feedback on each proposal. They will then select the most compelling proposals based on the evaluation criteria.

 

Outcome:

 

Each group will be judged individually, and the panel will decide if their proposal will be funded or approved.
