Develop a 5-7 page implementation plan addressing the various factors critical to the successful deployment of the new or upgraded telehealth technology that was the focus of the previous two assessments.Introduction Technology continues to move at an accelerated pace, and the delivery of health care is shifting from office-based environments to the home. For this reason, health care organizations must be at technology's cutting edge in order to remain competitive in today's environment. Integrating the daily activities of patients into the health care continuum will improve the quality of care that is provided and enable more holistic care.This assessment provides an opportunity for you to develop an implementation plan that addresses the various factors critical to the successful deployment of the new or upgraded telehealth technology that was the focus of your previous assessments.Preparation Based on the positive reactions and feedback from stakeholders with regard to the proposed telehealth technology, executive leaders have decided to move forward with implementation of this telehealth solution and have asked you to develop the implementation plan.To prepare for the assessment, you are encouraged to reflect on the factors critical to the successful deployment of the new or upgraded telehealth technology and on how such technology would be implemented in your organization or practice setting. In addition, you are encouraged to become familiar with the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process for successfully implementing information systems or a change model for technology use that you think best supports your technology implementation ideas. Refer to the suggested readings, supplemented, as desired, by your own research. You may also wish to: Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work you will be asked to complete.

Assignment: Global Healthcare Comparison Matrix and Narrative StatementNote: This Assignment is due on Day 5 of Week 11.If you talk about a possible poor health outcome, do you believe that outcome will occur? Do you believe eye contact and personal contact should be avoided?You would have a difficult time practicing as a nurse if you believed these to be true. But they are very real beliefs in some cultures.Differences in cultural beliefs, subcultures, religion, ethnic customs, dietary customs, language, and a host of other factors contribute to the complex environment that surrounds global healthcare issues. Failure to understand and account for these differences can create a gulf between practitioners and the public they serve.In this Assignment, you will examine a global health issue and consider the approach to this issue by the United States and by one other country.To Prepare:Review the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global health agenda and select one global health issue to focus on for this Assignment.Select at least one additional country to compare to the U.S. for this Assignment.Reflect on how the global health issue you selected is approached in the U.S. and in the additional country you selected.Review and download the Global Health Comparison Matrix provided in the Resources.The Assignment: (1- to 2-page Global Health Comparison Matrix; 1-page Plan for Social Change)Part 1: Global Health Comparison MatrixFocusing on the country you selected and the U.S., complete the Global Health Comparison Matrix. Be sure to address the following:Consider the U.S. national/federal health policies that have been adapted for the global health issue you selected from the WHO global health agenda. Compare these policies to the additional country you selected for study.Explain the strengths and weaknesses of each policy.Explain how the social determinants of health may impact the global health issue you selected. Be specific and provide examples.Using the WHO’s Organization’s global health agenda as well as the results of your own research, analyze how each country’s government addresses cost, quality, and access to the global health issue selected.Explain how the health policy you selected might impact the health of the global population. Be specific and provide examples.Explain how the health policy you selected might impact the role of the nurse in each country.Explain how global health issues impact local healthcare organizations and policies in both countries. Be specific and provide examples.Part 2: A Plan for Social ChangeReflect on the global health policy comparison and analysis you conducted in Part 1 of the Assignment and the impact that global health issues may have on the world, the U.S., your community, as well as your practice as a nurse leader.In a 1-page response, create a plan for social change that incorporates a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader.Explain how you would advocate for the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader.Explain how the incorporation of a global perspective or lens might impact your local practice and role as a nurse leader.Explain how the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice as a nurse leader represents and contributes to social change.
