INTRODUCTION
Adapting to new technology is a very crucial aspect for all organisations because of the
changing nature of organisations. Presently there is discussion of the concept of adaption of new
technology by organisations in this respect the new healthcare delivery system that is to be
adopted by National health organisation (Boonthamweeranat, 2019). So, there is a critical
analysis based on the positive & negative impact of the new development that is taking place in
the organisation.
PART 1:
Positive effects on companies.
According to the BMC health services research, development of a safe delivery system is on of
the future challenges of ageing populations. Government of UK is willing to play a crucial role
in providing health and support to the ageing population. The government is expecting that
technology is playing a part in supporting the integration of health & social care system for the
national health services. People in UK have used less of e health services as compared to Italy
and France. UK has adopted early the communication and information technology. UK is well
positioned to roll out the e health innovation scale.
The present health & social care secretary believes that the transformation of technology is
very essential to release the state from unnecessary bureaucracy & ensuring that there can be
better communication. The adoption of new technology in form of digital transformation for
NHS is very important to enhance the process of communication and easy access to the quick
and easy way of availing the required necessary services (Musselwhiteand Wesolowski, 2018).
The different general practises in England are specifically digitised so there has to be timely new
technology implementation that will lead to proper health & social care services that will be
offered by NHS hospitals. They are receiving higher support from government in form of large
amount of central funding. NHS digital that is a division of NHS is already a national delivery
partner that is providing services for remote consultations with health care professionals and
doctors. The new technology innovation will lead to dealing with additional issues of security,

data protection and improper ability so that there can be proper degree of evaluation such as
clinical safety, effectiveness, accessibility and usability.
Negative effects on companies.
The UK health market is more complex as compared to it being appreciated outside the system.
The devolution of NHS has resulted in significant differences in the health system of their home
countries. The NHS of wakes, Scotland and northern Ireland are completely different as
compared to NHS in England. Another major difficulty is that English NHS is characterised by
a mixture of centralisation with respect to policy setting, information governance and regulation
frameworks but there is considerable fragmentation with respect to delivery of care that leads to
a complex landscape system and scaling up of innovation (Karsh, 2018).
At the macro level the English institutional context is supportive of technological innovation
because of the interest in the scope of improving efficiency & productivity is experiencing some
financial pressures. There are reported deficits that is around 1 billion pounds and a additional
mount of 213 million pounds is over spend. There are three major structural barriers such as no
presence of a supportive policy context.
Lack of digitisation has limited the ability of effective sharing of information among the
professionals. Organisational and care situations. NHS consist of plethora incompatible patient
record system that has to be developed to meet the needs of specialists and local services. There
is negative impact in form of not able to ensure that whether the national regulatory & indeed
procurement system are sufficiently agile or proportionate to supporting the adoption at scale
(Rahman, 2016).
At the micro level it becomes difficult to fit the new technologies with the priorities and routines
of staff systems as the technological innovation can be based on legitimate concerns that may
lead to generation of “hidden work”. That is leading to a situation of undermining the quality of
patient and professional interaction.
Summarises what report has covered and future implications.
There is discussion of the difficulties that new organisations are facing in context to adapt to the
changing technologies in organisations. In case of NHS there is review of the new digital
technology that has to be adopted in context of changing external environmental and customer
requirements. The overall implications pf new technology and the digital divide is very

significant for efficiency, effectiveness and higher equity. The e-health implementation is a
technology that is based on political, economic and health related factors.
PART 2
Reflection:
There is reflection based on the overall learnings from the module. Such as I have learnt the
Researching skills:
these skills have been acquired by understand of a issue or a topic and then focus on the way
how information can be collected in order to solve with the issues identified. For this purpose
there has to be a in depth analysis of the problem by focussing ons several related aim and
objectives that can be formed that are part of the particular objectives (Karsh, 2018). This skill is
going to assist me in future in the process of identification of the issues, collection of the
required information so that problem can be timely addressed and then further evaluation of the
resources for its relevance and quality so that there can be reaching to final solutions.
Another skill set that I have learnt through this module has been the way to effectively
communicate. With the presentation that were part of my classroom assignments I had to focus
on my communication skills so that I am effectively able to address my audiences. This skill has
lead towards higher self confidence as now in future when I will be working in the professional
context I will be able to lead my teams and communicate with them in a more appropriate
manner. The use of words, voice modulations, body language, pitch, tone and the facial
expressions are some of the skills that I have learnt with the communication skills. All this is
going to help me in solving all the problems and then
Importance of learning: the timely acquisition of new skill set is the part of overall learning
process in life of a individual that is assisting in getting the required insights of the progress
made towards specifically laid objectives. The use of researching skills will be according to the
skill development process that leads to being able to provide in depth information with detailed
analysis & I am able to provide suitable recommendations on a particular topic after researching
it in a extensive manner (Mathauer and Hofmann, 2019 ). This process consist of formulation of
problem statement, identification of relabel & authentic sources, explanation of the finding &
overall observation of the report to reach to viable solutions.

Future implementation: These acquired skills will play a very crucial role in future researching
work where I will be able to explore different sources so that there can be proper defining of the
laid objectives, exploring of research aim, jotting down of the key findings and then putting of
the key findings in such a way that there is a wide network that is created to achieve the specified
outcomes of research. I will be applying the learnt skills through this module by solving of
various issues by application of authentic sources of information. Communication skills in
future are going to assist in the activities of listening, observing and then speaking. Research
skills also needs good communication and strong communication skill is a key attribute that
employers are looking in candidates.
PART 3
Performance development plan
Performance development plan in the present context is prepared to lay down some
specific skills that have to be achieved in the course of specific time period so that the areas
where the individual is lacking in some of the skills can be further improved within the given
time frame (Souder and et.al 2017).

CONCLUSION
It can be summarized from above made discussions that there is importance of learning of
new technology adoption is very crucial for organisations os that they are able to move along
with the changing nature of external environment. reflection skills are assisting in dealing with
all the issues to achieve high knowledge and laid objectives. The performance development plan
is assisting in filling of the skill gaps and then using techniques to achieve higher performance
level.
