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.
Review the Guiding Questions: Implementation Plan [DOCX], which includes questions to consider and
additional guidance on how to successfully complete the assessment.
Note: As you revise your writing, check out the resources listed on the Writing Center’s Writing Support page.
Requirements
Develop a technology implementation plan that supports the vision for safe, high-quality health care in your
organization or practice setting.

The implementation plan requirements, outlined below, correspond to the grading criteria in the Implementation
Plan Scoring Guide, so be sure to address each point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to
see how your work will be assessed. The Guiding Questions: Implementation Plan document, linked above, provides
additional considerations that may be helpful in completing your assessment. In addition, be sure to note the
requirements below for document format and length and for citing supporting evidence.
Assess the adequacy of existing telehealth technology infrastructure in your organization or practice setting.
Assign tasks and responsibilities for deploying the new or upgraded telehealth technology.
Develop an implementation schedule.
Determine staff training requirements and strategies.
Develop a strategy for collaborating with patients and other health care providers.
Develop a post-deployment telehealth technology evaluation and maintenance strategy.
Support assertions, arguments, propositions, and conclusions with relevant and credible evidence.
Write clearly and concisely in a logically coherent and appropriate form and style.
