i) Good Heart Hospital as an institution stands to gain increased efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness by implementing automated processes. This could lead to improved patient outcomes, reduced errors, and better overall performance of the hospital.
ii) The members of management of Good Heart Hospital who decided on the automation could benefit from increased productivity, streamlined operations, and potentially higher profits for the hospital. They may also gain recognition for implementing innovative technology in healthcare.
iii) The doctors who rely on the results/output generated by the automated technology could benefit from quicker diagnoses, more accurate treatment plans, and improved patient care. This could also free up their time to focus on more complex cases and patient interactions.
iv) Hospital staff who would interact with the technology or use it in their daily work could benefit from a reduction in repetitive tasks, improved job satisfaction, and potentially new skill development opportunities. This could lead to a more efficient and harmonious work environment for the staff.
