Project Plan and Proposal Development

Assisted living automation calls for efficient software solutions. so that all the issues can be addressed. By all issues means that The software to beeing adopted needs to takes into consideration the security, wellbeing, satisfaction. and proper management of residents. being impacted. Fundamentally, assisted living software are designated to enhance communication amid residents and their families. They also aim at improving on the quality of the existing services. The software also lets the personnel schedule, optimize, and have a proper control of the activities which they take part in. In order for

For a product to be included in Assisted Living category, it has to meet the following conditions (Shah & Patel, 2018):. (1)mMust be in a position of assessing the needs of the residents in terms of gender, age, health and other important aspects; . Secondly, it (2) must be in a position of developing standards of service delivery and comply with any agreement which might need (Thanh & Au, 2017); . They (3) should be in a position of being customized so as to meet the user needs; and (4). Lastly, must be in a position of tracking the schedules made at some point depending withmeeting the needs of the patients.

Existing methods of offering healthcare facilities have been questioned multiple times with authors pointing out the needs to have technology fully integrated into healthcare centers. Poor technology integration into the healthcare sector has resulted to a number of issues including but not limited to provision of poor-quality services to patients. Another challenge which that is facing the healthcare sector that with the automation solution will be sought to address is long waiting times to receive treatment services. This has posed a greater threat to the health wellbeing of the patients, specifically when they are in a critical condition. The aforementioned conditions will eventually result to provision ofin the offering of poor services. This project aims at coming up with solutions which will help address these issues.

There exists a number of solutions which that are in place currently to address prolonged delays in hospitals prior to receiving treatment. One of the is the decentralization of the hospital administration, with the goal of ensuring that different patients are being addressed from diverse locations, so as to reduce congestion. Although the technique has helped in reducing the delays, there is still needed to have better more efficient ways that can make this challenge null. Another way the challenge is being addressed currently is by having online reservation of nurses and doctors prior to arriving for medical conditions. This also was helpful in a way but was not efficient. Comment by Lori Willoughby: Do you need a citation here? Be sure to include the references and in APA format.

The technology currently in use in the company is plain html/java scripts which are purely script based. The websites allow the organization to display some of its information, but only after being through a number of parties. The technology is also reliant on Microsoft Eexcel formatting along with physical papers in trying to maintain its data. This is dangerous as some of the information can easily be lost or misplaced.

In the future, there is need to develop an interactive website to:

1. accept input from different channels including email, phone (text message or voice mail), website, Eexcel and external vendors to accept data and update it on the website in near real time,.

2. Ssend alerts and immediate response for critical situations.

3. The technological systems to be used must be capable of linking the facility website within a manner that information moves directly to the website free of any potential stopovers. With such technology, any activity taking place within the organization will be available on the website and any reference will be made easil, and

4. y. The company should also consider into generating an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) to ensure that any information stored is safe.

FEASIBILITY STUDYPROBLEM STATEMENT

Establishment of an interactive website and information system will enhance the communication between different entities within the organization. It will also ensure easier and better service provision especially because it will be able to send alerts about any critical situations and also provide immediate response. This will benefit the organization significantly in that the communication would be directly transmitted to the website and the entire information system without necessarily having to pass through different stages. In this manner, installation of the new system will be vital towards improving the strategic plan of the organization and also enhancing its long-term plan. The project objective is to

The main objective of the idea is to reduce the healthcare service delays through enhancing automation .

This would be through by creating a channel wherebywhereby, the facility management and other stakeholders within a region are able to pass information easily and automatically through an application. The desired outcome of the project is to

The desired project outcome is havinghave an automated healthcare facility in which patients will always be receiving efficient services.

The main objective for this project is to reduce medical services delays. This is mainly for the realization that among the issues within the healthcare facility whereby patients are kept waiting for long time before they receive the healthcare service that they need. This leads to project failure and even delays in facility operations.

How to achieve the objectives

To solve this issue, the project aims at developing an automated system within the assisted living facility. This would play a key role in minimizing the time spent to carry out different operations within the system. Most importantly, the members of staff within the facility and alsoand other stakeholders will be in a position to easily and efficiently share and receive important communication among them. Faster communication would also ensure faster implementation of operations within the facility. Comment by Lori Willoughby: Is the scope of the project to complete the feasibility study, analyze the problem, design the solution, and implement it. Or is the scope of the project the feasibility study. It seems that there are several phases to the project and you might want to indicate that this project is doing one or more phases but not the entire project.

The scope of this project is limited to complete the feasibility study, analyze the problem and design the solution for it. The implementation will be done in different phase and it is not part of this project.

Activities that will help in achieving the objective Comment by Lori Willoughby: Write this section in a way that will reflect the scope statement, detailing what will be completed.

How the project would differ or improve on what is being done.

Upon successful completion of the project, the assisted living facility will switch from manual communication system to the automated system. This would significantly improve the quality of healthcare services, which had been undermined by the issue of delays. This way, the project will have reduced cases of deaths and even project failures that are caused by delayed services.
