Strategic Plan for Telemedicine Services for Heart Disease in Atlanta, Georgia
Strategic Plan Timeline
The primary goal of this strategic plan is to introduce telemedicine services for people in Atlanta, Georgia and eliminate heart disease. Notably, many individuals in Atlanta lose their lives due to heart complications, which is an illness that can be prevented. The realistic timeline to accomplish this project is twelve months. On that note, the expected start date is 17th July 2023, and the end date is 24th September 2024. The most significant thing about telemedicine services is that it brings healthcare providers and patients together. In other words, it promotes effective communication on the Internet such that individuals can reach out to their doctors when they need help. For instance, people with heart disease in Atlanta will be able to contact care providers so that they can get advice, treatment, or prescriptions to manage this illness.
Short-Term Goals
Indeed, implementing short-term goals is crucial in completing this project successfully. A proper strategic plan ensures that individuals in Atlanta can get help when it comes to heart disease at any time from wherever they are, as long as they are connected to the web. An app will be used as the platform where patients can book appointments with highly qualified physicians to get assistance or get relevant resources to foster cardiovascular health. For example, smoking, physical inactivity, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and poor nutrition should be understood as some of the common factors that might lead to heart complications (Virani et al., 2020). As such, people will be required to sign up and log in every time they want to consult healthcare providers about heart disease. The following are three measurable short-term goals:
Hold a heart disease awareness campaign in Atlanta, Georgia, to sensitize people about the importance of maintaining healthy hearts. The anticipated duration would be 21 days.
Disbursing pamphlets showing how to access telemedicine services through the app, where the link would be provided. The activity should take 32 days.
Doing follow-up to ensure that individuals can access telemedicine services when the need arises after the app has been implemented successfully. The activity should take about 31 days.
Long-Term Goals
Additionally, long-term goals are vital in completing this project. Since heart disease is prevalent and among the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in Atlanta, people need to be provided with an effective solution (Chou et al., 2022). The primary focus is on individuals aged between 20 and 55 years. In that light, the following are the major long-term goals:
To offer quality telemedicine services via the app to promote the accessibility of care for heart-related issues. Since the activity involves implementing the app by following the software development lifecycle, it will take about 186 days.
To train people how to use t...
