5- to 6-page Implementation Plan

Your selected HSO has decided that it is in their best interest to pursue implementation of the technology that you researched in your Discussion. You are tasked with preparing an implementation plan for the project. Use the following headings and sections to create your plan:

· Section 1: Goals and Strategies

· Problem statement

· What is the issue that you are trying to address with technology? Use data if applicable.

· Goal statement

· What are you hoping to achieve with the implementation?

· Strategy description

· Which employees/patients/clients will utilize the technology? How will it be used within the HSO? 

· Section 2: Approach

· Barriers to successful implementation (actual or potential)

· Ethical considerations

· Implementation steps

· Include each activity and a person or group who will be responsible for the activities.

· Communication plan

· Who needs to be informed of these plans and how will the information be disseminated?

· Section 3: Estimated Time and Expenses

· Time estimate for implementation

· How long will acquisition of resources and training take approximately?

· Resources needed for implementation

· Stakeholder approvals needed

· What resistance could occur?

· Section 4: Performance Measures

· Monitoring plan

· How will you evaluate whether the implementation is successful?

· Evaluation timeline

· On what schedule will you monitor success?

There are a whole massive amount of information that need implemented. You need to know how much it cost and talk about it and other resources: manpower, hardware, software and who in charge of it? Then what stakeholder approvals do you need. The board is the final approval. The executive team has to approved before it ever goes to board then you should include the user. If it is multiple users you need to outline and then every good plan address the resistance. Who might not want it and why wont they want it? Is there any conflicts of interest. And as the change manager, how will you work with this resistance?
