PROJECT LEADERSHIP
In order to identify the stakeholders involved in the project, it is required to analyze the
persons involved with the project. The major stakeholder to buy new rehabilitation tools and
equipment are the staffs from clinical engineering or maintenance, device users as well as device
trainers. In addition, clinical governance to analyze the particular incident associated with the
devices or risks is considered as the stakeholder of the project (van der Zijpp et al. 2016). In
order to approach as well as communicate with the stakeholders, it is required to set up an
effective strategy and communication plan. After identification of the key stakeholders, it is
important to find out the audience and tailor the actions in order to meet the requirements from
both end. After this process, it is important to develop a management plan and provide
continuous update.
On the other hand, it is also important to understand the demands of the audiences.
Developing communication from both end is important for developing effective communication
plan. Use of social media as well as electronic media can be the useful medium to approach the
key stakeholders involved in the project (Frich et al. 2015). Moreover, use of online project
management tool can be helpful to approach the stakeholders involved in the particular project of
purchasing new rehabilitation tools as well as equipment, deploying technological options in
order to monitor older people with special demands and give feedback to the nurses along with
finally expanding the older people's and family members' along with care providing satisfaction
of the organization.
In order to comprehend as well as identify the possible ethical and social issues, it is
required to understand the issues at first. Based on the analysis, outlining the ethical issues of the
project, the potential issues can serve as a significant sensitizing device to the issues. Information
and communication technology can produce nearly 25% of total business expenditure in the

healthcare services (Patel et al. 2015). Hence, it is important to develop effective monitoring plan
that can be helpful to mitigate ethical dilemma involved with the stakeholder communication
plan.
It is important in a project to identify the demand of stakeholders. In this regards,
dissatisfaction of the stakeholders is one of the key aspect, so that, identifying the aspects can
assist to balance their needs in evaluating the healthcare quality enhancement. The major factors
of dissatisfaction are grouped into political, organizational, market, socio-economical as well as
moral issues. Inadequate management of the resources associated with bureaucracy and
incompetent local administration as well as corruption and health professional politics are the
major barriers to the satisfaction in public sector (Démeh and Rosengren 2015). It is also
important to illustrate the process as well as focusing on the imperfect market in the situation.
Minimization of the undue political influence as well as instituting a proper evaluation of the
performances are important in order to recover the internal as well as external stakeholders
involved with the project. On the other hand, deploying a health insurance system are considered
as the priority items in order to enhance efficiency as well as economic protection in healthcare
as well as health of the people.
