Future Recommendations for Toolkit Development and Deployment

Future Recommendations
- Conduct risk assessments for environmental challenges before implementation (technology, manpower). - Obtain written support from leadership and top-level executives to avoid delays in toolkit development. - Form a team early in the process with clear roles, responsibilities, and deadlines. - Triple redundancy for roles prevents delays if the primary leader is deployed or unavailable. - Enlist the support of enterprise leadership early to assist with marketing and sustainment plans. - Include subject matter experts and end-users early in development; integrate them into all decision-making. - Involve information technology and supply chain early in the process and throughout the toolkit's development to allow for any security patches, software, and hardware supplies necessary—verify operations. - Ensure supply and IT departments purchase, maintain, and sustain devices to integrate future upgrades. - Enlist additional support for unit and organizational processes such as creating patient accounts, trouble-shooting Wi-Fi, disinfecting, storing, and distributing iPads/tablets. - Contingency planning for staffing and patient acuity changes that may require additional manpower. - Provide copyright permissions/intellectual property guidance for professional organization collaboration. - Ensure strategic communication aligns with the organization's messaging and requirements. - Identify an initial targeted and intentional dissemination plan for websites and education venues. - Incorporate practice change or guidelines into policy for sustainment.
