Phase two implementation Plan
Target population and goals
Milestone four of the project involves implementing the plan made at the prior stages. The application targets individuals who are busy but would wish to access the relevant medical information (Yardley et al., 2015). These are mostly young people who are tech savvy and busy hence would find it a bother visiting the medical center for the information. The established goals include connecting healthcare workers to the patients, personalization of patients care and embracing technology in healthcare.
Implementation Milestones and timeline
The project will have a timeline and important milestones in the implementation. First, it has to be approved as a patent to ensure it is fully registered as the medical centers’ property (Glasgow et al., 2014). Next, funds will be received from the stakeholders specifically at the medical center and then key staff to man the app will be hired. The individuals who will use the app will then sign contracts where installation of the program will take place. Lastly, it will be rolled out to the users as fully functional.
Finances and compliance with regulation
The finances will be provided by the stakeholders at the medical center level with no need for borrowing. The consumers will pay for the use hence providing money for long-term maintenance of the app bringing benefits to the organization (Sama et al., 2014). Resources necessary for the implementation of the project include IT specialists, computers, servers, and software.

The proposed plan has complied with the relevant regulations on the use of the application in the health sector. Some of the regulations followed are contained in health IT regulations, MACRA act of 2015 and HITECH act of 2009 (Vincent et al, 2015). The regulations monitor the use of the apps on the people curbing their risks.
Ethical consideration
The application provides an ethical challenge especially when unscrupulous employees release sensitive client’s data to outsiders. Outsiders may also access the information if the app the security is not of high quality (Jha et al., 2009). To monitor this, the employees handling the app will sign confidentiality contract and also enhance the security to limit outside access.
