4. What do you think is the most important part of the report? What
measures can be taken to make this part impressive and impactful?
Summary / Abstract:
A summary is one of the most important elements when writing a report. It is written to
provide a brief overview of the report. It highlights the key points of the report and the
evidence for them and highlights the conclusions or recommendations.
The tips below apply to both print and web messages to make them impactful:
Visuals should reflect the subject of your message. Use images to reinforce the main content
or message, not just to embellish the message.
For example:
If you are showing performance measures related to surgery, you can show a picture of the
surgical team performing the surgery.
Format tables and graphs to make them attractive and easy to understand:
Keep the layout clean and uncluttered. Leave enough space so that the display doesn't look
crowded, and the font size can remain large enough for easy reading. If you are creating a
paper report, do not compress the information into a predetermined length, but make it as
long as it needs to be. To clearly define the columns of a line and bar chart, use left alignment
and follow strong alignment. You can then remove the layout by removing the vertical lines
between the columns (you won't need them). Try to avoid using footnotes to display data.
