2 Plan, Engage, Commit
In this phase, digital telecare providers seek to secure buy-in and commitment to the project. Buy-in, sometimes referred to as anchoring, sponsorship, or, simply, commitment, is required from stakeholders at different levels throughout the transition.
The project plan, preparation of which started during the Baseline phase, will be completed and confirmed. Funding and the procurement process will also be confirmed.
Engagement activities will be underpinning activities throughout the project. In the initial stages, these will include:
- Obtaining buy-in from health and social care leadership.
- Raising awareness of the digital telecare transition with all stakeholders.
- Working to understand and manage stakeholder expectations.
- Documenting known and expected challenges, risks (including how they may be mitigated) and technology inter-operability challenges.
