Assignment 3: (Part 1) Project Plan
1. Assumptions of business and incorporating 5G technologies:
The private health care organization that wants to implement 5G technologies in its
business process is Gosford Privet Hospital situated in the NSW of Australia. The business has
many modern technologies that has improved the health care services in Australia and recently
the organization wants to implement 5G technology to enhance the working speed and the
features of the application that are used to diagnose the health of the patients (Hossain and
Muhammad 2017). 5G technology is an extension of 3G and 4G this emerging network
capitalize in all interface variety. With the 5G connected device, the patients and the employees
working in the private hospital and get experience more enhance services. The 5G technologies
would improve the patient care and diagnosis process and includes changes in the models of
health care. This report states the details of implementing the 5G technology in the private
hospital.
2. Expanding ICT unit to 5G technologies to business:
In the private health care hospital, the implementation of 5G technology helps people to
communicate well with the private hospitals even from the rural areas (Thuemmler et al. 2018).
Expanding the business process to 5G will expand the services to suburb areas of Australia and
thus can save time for treatment. 5G system will help to monitor patients from different
locations. With the 5G technology implementation in the business working process, the business
will get following advantages:
1. Quickly transmit the large file that might consists of patient’s data or some diagnosis
report that are needed by the doctors immediately (Magsi et al. 2018). Adding the 5G

4PROJECT MANAGEMENT
technology to the network, medical imagery as well as data files can be transferred that would
improve the process of patient care in the system.
2. This would also improve the telemedicine help for the hospital. Telemedicine needs a
high speed network that is capable of providing high video quality and this technology also
includes mobile networks for handling the appointments that are made through telemedicine
(Lema et al. 2017). This would help to make the treatment process faster.
3. The implementation of 5G technology in the private hospital also helps to improve the
AR, spatial computing as well as include VR in the system (Chen et al. 2017). Implementation
of 5G would help to enhance the ability of the doctor so that they can get innovative as well as
less treatments that are invasive.
4. This system would provide remote monitoring for the patients and helps to gather
some data that helps to improve the preventive care as well as the personalized care for the
patients (West 2016).
3. Quality, Cost and Resource Estimation
3.1 Quality Structure:
There is 10 significant ways for improving quality of the project. The quality of the
project matters in completing the project and the aim is also to maintain the quality of the project
as well as deliver the project within the budget. For maintaining project quality, the following
processes are to be carried out.
1. Define the project quality: Before starting the project, the quality of the project is to be
defined which states the degree of the project that is to be set in the project (Chofreh et al.

5PROJECT MANAGEMENT
2018). It is needed to check the project and define the criteria of quality that is to be carried out
in the project.
2. Stick to requirements of project: The project requirement are to be defined at the
starting of the project and till the project ends, the project requirements are to be followed to
complete the project successfully.
3. Include quality assurance: The plan for quality management is to be defined within the
project including the project processes as well as standards of the project that are initially stated
for the project (Heerden, Kleingeld, and Vosloo 2015).
4. Control project quality: The quality of the project is to be controlled by ensuring that
the deliverables of the project are correct and they do not have any defects when they are
included in the project.
5. Following project processes: Follow all the processes as well as the tasks that are
included in the initial project plan. More way to complete the project with high quality should be
included for implementing the 5G technology in the system.

hospital is 10%. The break even for the project occurs after 6 years that is the organization would
be able to cover up the variable cost and the fixed cost at 6.6066 years after implementation.
2. Recommendations for managing the project
For implementing 5G technology in the Gosford Private Hospital with the help of project
management, there are many difficulties that are faced by project manager to complete the
project that is on track and complete it within the project budget (Colebatch and Lockwood
2019). The recommendations to manage the project are

15PROJECT MANAGEMENT
a. Nailing down the project: Before starting the project the project manager should make
sure that the project includes a solid foundation and all the stakeholders that are in the project.
The project plan is to be develop for managing a project properly.
b. Project identification and requirement of team: The project identification is to be
defined in the project (Bourne 2016). This includes the need of carrying out the project and
includes to assemble as well as organize the resources that are available.
c. Include a project leader: The main aim of the project is to include a project leader to
manage the project. There should be proper team dynamics and there should be a supervisor who
can manage the project successfully.
d. Defining the project milestones: The project milestones are to be defined that is
included in project plan of developing the project (Stark 2015). In implementing the 5G
technology in the Gosford Private hospital, the project plan includes milestones that are to be
completed within the time scheduled for the project.
e. Open communication plan: The project manager includes communication plan so that
the project managers are capable of establishing proper communication with the team members
and listen to the advice they provide for the project.
3. Recommendations for managing project integration
The project Integration management is the process collection that requires ensuring
different elements that are included in project and the activities are coordinated well. Integration
management includes trade-offs in the project objective and as well as includes alternatives that
are needed to meet the expectation of the users (Kerzner 2019). The recommendations that are to
be included for project integration is:

16PROJECT MANAGEMENT
a. Developing a project plan for developing the project.
b. A proper knowledge area is to be defined for completing the project that includes
seven different processes of project managemenst (Carnall 2018).
c. For integration a project, project charter is to be involved including input, tools, as well
as techniques that are included in the system.
d. In the project execution of the project, the project focuses to complete the task that is
assigned.
e. There should be tools, techniques as well as inputs that are to be included in the
project.
4. Implementation plan
For developing a project proper implementation plan should be introduced. Project
implementation plan includes details of project plan as well as activities that are included in the
system (Nanda 2016). There are some plan of project implementation that are carried out for
developing a project.
a. Preparing project infrastructure: The project implementation plan should be carried
out in the organization where it should be used (Kerzner 2017). It is not right to test the solution
in some other place and implement it in some other place.
b. Coordinate all organization included in implementation: All the other organization is
associated with a particular project are to be implemented when the project is being developed.
c. Implementing training process: To use the process, trained professional are required
who will be able to handle the system.

17PROJECT MANAGEMENT
d. Installing production solution: The solution or the application that is to be made are to
be changed to the developed phase (Archibald and Archibald 2016). In this phase, the production
solution is made.
e. Converting the data: Data conversion is needed which include changing of data that
are included in the infrastructure of the system.
f. Performing verification in the production process: This includes combination of
development as well as include client personnel with the project (Tupa, Simota, and Steiner
2017). This verification technique checks if all the things going on the right path.
g. Implement necessary processes: All the processes needed for developing the system
should be included in this implementation process.
h. Monitoring solution: All the solution should be monitored that are on the process and
the process that are already being completed.
5. Post Implementation plan
In the post implementation method, the reviews of the users or the clients are to be taken
to get the working condition of the system or product (Permana 2015). To capture the learning
process as well as make the information that are available are included in the organization. Post
implementation plan is generally organized by project manager. Associated project manager
should look after the customer gain, the benefits of the customers, as well as include detailed
business case that are included in the project (Heagney 2016). This post implementation plan is
considered to be extra phase in developing a project. To implement the post-implementation
review, generally the project manager needs to provide six months to one year to complete the
project.

18PROJECT MANAGEMENT
This phase is generally included in the last phase after the implementation process is
being completed (Uhl and Gollenia 2016). The common mistakes that are committed in the post
implementation plan that occurs in the system planning.
Recommendation and Conclusion
From the above discussion, it can be cleared that 5G technologies will help to improve
the condition of health care and will also improve the medical service that health care centres
provides. With eth fastest speed and because of its intelligent design of the systems of 5G
technology is helping system developers to design new applications as well as devices which
have potential to change the way of diagnosis of health. 5G technology provides wide range of
possibility so that they can connect different health care centres in different creative ways. The
technology of 5G is increasing the ability to use equipment of remote monitoring, sensors as well
as mobile devices and the patient’s diagnosis system, receiving images as well as changing the
treatment process via digital technology. As Gosford Private Hospital in NSW Australia wants to
implement 5G technology in its business process for expanding the technological opportunities,
some number of steps are recommended before incorporating 5G technology in its system
applications.
1. Proper infrastructure is needed for incorporating 5G technology and there is a need of
trained professionals to handle the system.
2. The spectrum of the 5G technology are to be harmonized which should include
combination of the licensed, licensed shared as well as unlicensed spectrum. Applications require
different range of spectrums.

19PROJECT MANAGEMENT
3. The network of the system should have security as well as include interoperability. The
data networks used in the system should be maintained and the information exchange through 5G
network should be trusted.
4. The Gosford Private hospital should also follow the updated policy of reimbursement
so that they can apply advance application in the area of digital medicine.
