An action plan to implement learning and/or to address skills or knowledge gaps identified.

Considerations

• Appropriate use and limitations of AI
• Benefits and risks of implementing AI
• AI market place
• Capabilities required to implement AI
• Data management and AI
• Problem identification
• Procurement

Reflective practice guidance

The guidance below is provided to support reflection at different time points, providing you with questions to aid you to reflect for this training activity. They are provided for guidance and should not be considered as a mandatory checklist. Trainees should not be expected to provide answers to each of the guidance questions listed.

Before action

• Consider the key steps involved in planning the implementation of a new technology within a work environment.
• What aspects of the existing AI solution and the current process do you need to understand thoroughly before planning implementation?
• What specific insights do you hope to gain about the practical challenges and considerations of implementing AI in a healthcare setting?
• How will this activity enhance your planning and project management skills in the context of AI deployment?
• What is your current understanding of implementation processes and the specific AI solution you will be working with?
• Discuss with your training officer potential existing AI solutions and processes within your area of work that could be improved.
• Research best practices for technology implementation in healthcare, including change management and risk assessment.
• Consider potential barriers to implementation (e.g., user acceptance, data integration, infrastructure requirements) and how to address them.
• How do you feel about planning and potentially leading an implementation process?

In action

• How are you approaching the planning process? What steps are you taking initially to understand the current process and the AI solution?
• What decisions are you making about the key stages of implementation and the resources required?
• Which aspects of the planning (e.g., stakeholder engagement, risk assessment, integration with existing systems) feel more familiar, and which need more focused consideration?
• How effectively are you identifying the potential benefits and challenges of implementing this AI solution within your specific work environment?
• What obstacles are you encountering as you try to map out the implementation process?
• What are you learning about the practical considerations of introducing AI into a healthcare workflow as the planning unfolds?
• How does this planning activity connect with your knowledge of process improvement and change management?
• If your initial implementation plan encounters unforeseen complexities, what alternative strategies could you explore?
• Do you need to seek input from colleagues or supervisors to address specific planning challenges?
• Are you ensuring that your proposed implementation plan is realistic and within your understanding of the available resources and constraints?

On action

• Describe the existing AI solution you planned to implement and the specific process you aimed to improve. What were the key steps involved in your implementation plan? What potential challenges or considerations did you identify during the planning process?
• What did you learn about the practicalities of implementing AI solutions in a healthcare setting? Were there any unexpected factors that you had to consider during the planning? What did you learn from these? How did this activity enhance your understanding of project planning and change management in healthcare? How will the ability to plan AI implementation support improvements in healthcare processes in your future practice?
• What aspects of AI implementation planning do you need to develop further? How will you apply the lessons learned from this planning process in future implementation projects? What actions will you take to improve your skills in project management and AI implementation? What support or resources might you need to further develop your AI implementation planning skills?

Beyond action

• Have you reviewed your implementation plan? Has the process you planned to improve been subject to any changes or improvements since you completed this training activity? How might your AI solution have been affected?
• Have you been involved in any implementation projects, AI-related or otherwise, since this training activity? How did your planning experience inform your approach? How has this training activity improved your understanding of the practical challenges and considerations involved in implementing new technologies in a healthcare setting?
• What transferable skills (e.g., project planning, process improvement, stakeholder considerations) did you develop that will be valuable in future implementation projects? What did you learn about the change management aspects of implementation that you can apply in the future?
