Running Head: SECTION E: IMPLEMENTION PLAN Implementation Plan 1 SECTION E: IMPLEMENTION PLAN 2 Implementation Plan Conceptual Model The model gives the change curve with all the stages labeled as has been described. Setting and Access to Potential Subjects The subjects of this project are all healthcare professionals like nurses and doctors. The people living in the rural areas are also subjects because as was mentioned, they need healthcare training in ways they can live a healthy lifestyle devoid of frequent illnesses. An approval form is not a requirement in this project because the matter at hand is of interest to almost all residents of the rural areas and this is meant to better their lives. Project Timeline This project will take at least a year to be completed because there is a need for heavy financial investment on the government’s part that has to be budgeted and accounted for. Also, the plan cannot be affected in all rural areas at once. The implementation phase is therefore likely to take longer for it to be applied to all rural areas. The timeline is as illustrated below: SECTION E: IMPLEMENTION PLAN 3 Date Activity Jan 2018 Feasibility Analysis Feb 2018 Communication with stakeholders March 2018 Budget submission and obtaining Funds Aprl – May 2018 Funds allocation Jun –Sept 2018 Implementation Oct – Dec 2018 Post Implementation 2019 - Onwards Control Resource List The required resources include: • Human resources (More Doctors and Nurses) • Healthcare facilities and equipment funds • Supplies • Telecommunication networks • Hospital Insurance programs for the people • Provision of Health literacy programs for the people Methods and Instruments The most appropriate method that will be used to monitor the project progress is the questionnaire with closed ended questions. This will be easier because the answers will be definite which will make it fast and less complex to analyze the results. An advantage of the SECTION E: IMPLEMENTION PLAN 4 questionnaire is that it allows for the rapid collection of large data amounts and enables the statistical analysis of the data once it has been standardized. Delivery Process Delivery will begin with the rural healthcare centers that have a considerably lower number of health professionals. Training will be needed for employees who have never worked in the rural areas with an aim of making them understand how to deal with the patients here. Also, newly employed professionals will be trained and monitored during their first month to make sure they are conversant with all the required processes at the hospitals. Data Collection Plan Data collection will be by both observation and use of questionnaires as earlier mentioned. The analysis will be done statistically using statistical software to ultimately draw conclusions and recommendations for improvement. Dealing with Challenges The major challenge likely to be faced in this project is resistance to change by the healthcare professionals. To deal with this, strategies such as frequent communication with the workers, conducting frequent clinical audits and giving feedback, creating awareness and generally ensuring that employees are well motivated. Implementation Plan Feasibility The budget is as outlined below: Pre-operating costs per hospital: SECTION E: IMPLEMENTION PLAN 5 a. Improvement : $ 250,000 b. Solar Panels and batteries: : $ 300,000 c. Computers and Printers : $ 50,000 d. Lab for urine, blood and stool tests : $ 50,000 e. Medical Supplies, Stationery, etc : $ 50,000 f. Furniture and fixtures : $ 20,000 Total : $ 720,000 a. Project Coordinator (1/5 time Physician) : $ 60000 b. Paramedic/Computer Operator : $ 72000 c. Nurse/medical assistant :$ 84000 d. Lab Technician :$ 72000 e. Transportation : $ 30000 f. Consumables : $ 32000 SECTION E: IMPLEMENTION PLAN 6 g. Other : $ 50000 Total operating cost per annum : $ 400,000 Post-Implementation Plan Continuous employee motivation and making better their working environments is the most appropriate control measure to consider after implementing the project. The health professionals need to be constantly motivated for them to remain working in the rural areas and this will be made possible by providing all the supplies in equal measure and quality as those supplied in the urban areas. The people from the rural areas will continually be educated as well for them to mitigate some common illnesses. The revision will be done based on the specific healthcare centers.
