Summary of Issues and Trend Solution
The organization is facing various challenges due to the small size of the current laboratory and also old equipment that operates very slow.
The equipment operates very slowly taking a lot of time for nurses to get results for their patients.
This has significant financial implications in the organization as only few patients can be served in one day.
Physicians and computer scientists at the University of California San Diego have shown that medical test results can be easily modified remotely by attacking the connections between hospital laboratory devices and medical record systems. The researchers suggest that these unsecured medical record systems and unsecured medical devices could be putting patient lives at risk. High-profile targets like heads of state and celebrities could be more at risk than the general public. They also report that the insecure connections could be used by another nation-state to attack the medical infrastructure of the U.S. Outdated equipment that operate at a very low speed also makes it difficult for healthcare workers to diagnose patients early enough and provide treatment in a timely manner.

Summary of Issues and Trend Solution
In addition, patients spend a lot of time in the hospital and are looking for other options where they can get services within a short time.
Nurses also spend a lot of time attending to one patient while waiting for results (Pellerin & Perrier, 2019).
The hospital has very old laboratory equipment that operate at a very low speed. It is estimated that within one hour, the laboratory can only serve ten patients. This is very alarming consodering the high number of patients visiting the organization each and ever year. This also has significant financial implications . Time is becoming very important for patients. People want to get the best healthcare possible within a short period of time. If clients are unable to get the services they are looking for, they change their healthcare organization. As a result, the hospital ends up loosing a lot of money. Ideally, the lab should be able to serve as many people as possible within the period of one hour to help improve the organization’s income.

Organizational Assessment
Apple Inc. is an international technology company with its headquarters based in the United States of America. The nature of the organization is manufacturing technology devices, application, operating software as well as provision of technology services.
. The company is well known for being compartmentalized. Employees working on various projects hardly interact with or access to data and information on other ongoing projects. This shows that the security design of the company is very tight. It is impossible to release any information that one can hardly access. The organization structure of Apple highly contributes to rapid and effective innovation, which has enabled the company to emerge very successful in online services information technology as well as industries on consumer electronics.The success experienced by Apple Inc. is partly as a result of its ability to satisfy its different stakeholders as well as corporate social responsibilities

Organizational Assessment
The organizational culture of Apple Inc. enables the human resources to provide support to different strategic objectives.
The organizational culture of the company is based on creativity and innovation.
The main things included in the corporate culture of the organization are innovation, secrecy, creativity, top-notch excellence, and moderate combativeness.
The organization culture of the company is also in line with the mission and vision of the company to ensure it achieves the goals and objectives. The company shapes its corporate and organizational culture and utilizes it as a means for strategic success as well as management. The company strengthens its competitive advantage against other similar organizations through its organizational culture.
Through this paper of organizational assessment, the organization will be in a position to identify its strengths, weaknesses and embrace participation of different stakeholders to help in improving any areas that need improvement. The company will also have an opportunity to take a figurative step back and conduct evaluation on its overall operations.

Project Planning and Budget
The main objective of this project is to install new equipment in the hospital laboratory within a period of three weeks.
The new equipment will be installed in a new laboratory specifically designed to accommodate the more equipment. One of the main goals of the project is to ensure healthcare practitioner get results within a short period of time. (Marier-Bienvenue, Pellerin & Cassivi, 2017).
| Item | Cost |
| Project manager | $1000 |
| Laboratory Equipment | $50000 |
| New building | $4000 |
| Consultant | $5000 |
| Subject matter experts | $30000 |
| Total | $900000 |
Budget
Another goal of this project is to ensure nurses attend to more than six patients within one hour. Finally, the project aims to improve customers’ satisfaction by reducing their stay in the healthcare setting. There are different types of communications that will be used in this project depending on the information being passed. The project manager will communicate project status reports on weekly bases through email to the project sponsor and the team. A meeting will be convened everyday to communicate team stand up. Only team members will attend that meeting. A meeting will be convened to review the project at milestone. The goal of the meeting will be to gather feedback and discuss the way forward.

The table above shows all the activities that will need to be implemented ant their timelines. The first step involves project selection by the senior management of the organization. The next phase is project planning. This will involve identifying resources deciding a budget and setting timelines of the project. In addition the team will identify any roadblocks. The next task is to rollout the project. This involves the supervisor assigning each roles and responsibilities to team members. During the project the manager will monitor team performance, project timeline and plan. A comprehensive training program will be provided to help nurse acquire new knowledge and skills to use the new lab. The project will come to an end after all the objectives are met.

Implementation strategy
There are various strategies that will be used for implementing change.
The first strategy is clearly defining the change. This will involve the evaluating the change required for the organization.
This will help the project team to determine the value for the change. Another strategy is determining the impact of the change (Allen, 2016).
The impact of the change on each of the business units will be reviewed. This strategy will help to answer critical questions of the project such as who the change will affect and how it will be received. This strategy also helps the project team to determine the people who are most likely to be affected (Cancilla, 2020).
A communication strategy will be developed to help the organization communicate change to the employees. This will help the team to determine ways in which the change will be communicated and how feedback will be managed. The other strategy is providing training to nurses. A training program will be provided for the nurses to learn the skills needed to operate the new laboratory equipment.
