Georgia Department of Public Health (GDPH)
The GDPH is a crucial stakeholder in my strategic plan since it has relevant statistics about heart disease, which can be essential when implementing telemedicine services for individuals with cardiovascular disease in Atlanta, Georgia. The primary benefit of including GDPH in my project is to get adequate resources to facilitate the success of the provision of quality telemedicine services. For instance, GDPH is a member of Million Hearts, which is a national health initiative introduced by the United States Department of Health and Human Services (USDHHS) to prevent one million strokes and heart attacks by 2027.
Individuals in Atlanta
Another vital stakeholder is the target population. Indeed, people aged between 20 and 55 years are more vulnerable to heart diseases. That is why these individuals should be included in the strategic plan to understand their needs. Besides, the primary objective is to reduce the prevalence of heart disease in Atlanta, Georgia. The most significant thing about involving people in Atlanta is that it will be easy to include all the requirements of the target population in the app to be developed. That way, these individuals will get quality telemedicine services to manage and prevent cardiovascular complications.

As a result, software developers must ensure that the app is user-friendly and easy to navigate for medical practitioners and people in Atlanta.

That is why it’s important to involve data security experts so that they can ensure that the app complies with the regulations set by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Moreover, these professionals will update and maintain the app to decrease the chances of information breaches by cyber-attackers.
