IMPACTS AND JUSTIFICATION l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l 2
A. Short-term impact
The integration of mobile workstations in the clinic can give rise to several advantages. By
adding such workstations, it is possible to increase the revenue of VFC. Furthermore, since the
economic setting is stable, it will be an affordable choice for the clinic. It is necessary to bear in mind
that having a stable budget is critical for the facility’s growth. No additional costs will be incurred
since the activity will be conducted by the current IT professionals of VFC, and training will be
rolled out using the present organizational staff. The short-term impact relating to the cost is almost
negligible. Since the equipment will be bought during the first quarter, the cost-related implications
will be low, and there will be no financial burden (Finkler et al., 2022).
B. Long-term impact
The proper and timely maintenance of the mobile workstations will be necessary to ensure their
longevity and stability in the clinic. It can create value for the clinic in the long run. In case there are
excess funds, it will imply that the VFC organization is able to thrive in the environment. For future
growth, lending from lenders and banks will be crucial (Carlson, 2019). Their contribution will also
help the clinic in acquiring additional projects. The utilization of the workstations on wheels can
contribute to organizational growth by enhancing patient outcomes due to the adoption of new
technologies. The mobile workstations will enable the service providers, nurses, staff from the
coding and billing department, and frontline officials to optimize the workflow and create value for
each patient. The long-term impact relating to the financial budget of the entity will be minimum.
This is because the equipment and software will be bought in the first quarter and the related costs
will be paid over the course of 3 to 10 years. l l l

IMPACTS AND JUSTIFICATION l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l 3
The total cost relating to the proposed project items is around $ 25,990. As per the Consolidated
Statement of VFC for 2018, the total revenue over expenses was valued at $ 37,119,764. It implies
that there is a 0.70 % increase in financial needs for the clinic. In the 1st year’s course, the clinic’s
estimated revenue will increase by 0.70 % if 5 mobile workstations are bought (Carlson, 2019). It
can help in reducing the time taken by the clinic to provide care to the patients. It can increase the
number of patients that the clinic is able to offer its services to, and thus it can indirectly contribute
to increased revenue. The decline in possible medication errors can also save organizational costs
and influence its efficiency and productivity. l l l l l l l
D. Strategic Planning
Strategic planning is of vital importance in every organization. In the clinic, it can help the
management to foresee where it intends to see the healthcare organization within 3 to 5 years. It can
even help in resource identification and allocation that can help in accomplishing the specific goals
for the clinical facility. Strategic planning also acts as the starting point for the operational plan. The
budgeted items that have been identified will help to meet the organizational goals. Five ‘Capsa
Healthcare M38e XP Mobile workstations’ are estimated to be $ 14,410. They have a 5-year, in-
house service warranty. Every mobile cart has 6 locking draws that can be used by nurses to store
medicines for safe administration and transportation. Five HP EliteBook G6 14” laptops are
proposed at $ 8,750, and they will offer integrated security and enhance the level of productivity of
the organization. By using the laptops, it will be possible for the clinic to streamline its clinical
operations by integrating telemarketing features and the adoption of integrated asset management.
It will promote technology implementation in the clinic. The service warranties have been budgeted
at $ 1,900. Software along with additional accessories such as keyboards, mouse, etc., have been
budgeted at around $ 930. l l

E. Conflicts
It will be necessary to have a set-up period while doing the implementation process. The IT
department of the organization will be responsible for doing so. Similarly, a process that provides
training should also be in place that must be rolled out to the staff members of the entity (Carlson,
2019). In case any conflicting situations arise, it can be used as an opportunity to learn and grow.
However, conflicts must be effectively managed so that they can be minimal and they will not
hinder the implementation process. It is vital to minimize the conflicts that may arise while
executing the project relating to the mobile workstations since they can act as major bottlenecks.
