INTRODUCTION
Resource planning is the process for allocation of the task which are allotted to the
members of the team on the basis of their skills and capacity that fits the job. It is a form of
maximization of the efficiency of the team for the management and utilization of rates which
track the capacity and monitor progress towards the budget and working on track. In this report
the resource and planning will be shown for Intensive Care Unit (ICU) which are sections in the
specialist hospital ward that provide treatment and monitoring to the people which are very ill. It
includes may specially train healthcare professionals and also contain sophisticated monitoring
equipment. This project will understand the concept of resource planning. This will also discuss
the importance of effective resource management. It will also explain the relationship between
planning and management of resource and their performance in the team.
QUESTION 1
Discussion of utilization of concept of resource planning for expanding the ICU
Resource planning is a process which is very effective in the identification, forecasting
and allocation of different types of businesses resources for the project which at the given time of
the right time and cost can ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of the resources across the
enterprise. The importance of Resource planning in a project has its benefits,
 It is considered to be very helpful for the project to pipeline the project, develop an
outline to the projects. It is considered to be the execution of the project which helps in
the bottlenecking, delays n meetings and deadlines which impact the quality (Chen and
et.al., 2019).
 This is a very good way of bridging the gaps between the practice efforts of the resource
planning which is the identification of the excess and shortage of resources. It is
considered to be based on the implementation of the right resourcing treatments which
can bridge the capacity and demand.
For the expansion of ICU at the North Middlesex Hospital the following steps for the
resource planning can be taken which will lead to effective,
Plan :
Firstly there will be a development of plan on how the resource planning will be
executing the project of expanding the ICU. In this the essential requirements for the planning

and with the help of the GIS tools which are based on the socio-demographic data of population,
location of the hospital will analyse the transport structure. This will help in the calculation of
the conditions for potential spatial accessibility in the hospitals which are available for the ICU.
Collaboration :
The plan which is developed then will be requiring implementation with the help of
collaboration of the resources which are going to focus on the new practices which are agile and
lean management (Li, 2020). This is a way in which the remote work or virtual dispersed teams
are utilized for collaboration.
Adjust :
In the planning of implementation of the expansion for ICU there will be some definite
barriers which are needed to be addressed for effectiveness in the utilization of the technology
which helps the project in the creation of technology which utilize the grateful inventions.
Adjusting to the new expansion will be a difficult task for the existing resources in the
organization. It will require time and training which can be provided with everyone staying
connected.
Launch :
This step of the resource planning can only be taken when the all the above stages are
fulfilled. It can be considered to be the way in which enabling the expansion of the critical care
network can be seen as a way of bringing growth of organizational operations. The expansion
would require the monitoring of all the resources and areas which are very important for the
creation of the opportunity that will focus on the development of the success opportunities of
ICU expansion.
Reviewing :
After the launch of the ICU the important task of resource planning is to monitor and
review the performance of the resources which will be responsible for the expanded ICU. This
will help in recognizing the effectiveness in the performance of the ICU which will be very
important for the growth of the expansion methods (Wandabwa and Yusuf, 2019). This is
perhaps the most important stage as it will be the last time of reviewing before the ICU is in
complete usage. The effectiveness of the performance of the resources will mean the future
success of the ICU.
