From the Paper:

"The pilot study is an excellent way to measure the difficulties that may be encountered in the implementation of the plan for the remainder of the qualified providers. The pilot study provided a plan for training of the doctors that would help them become familiar with the technology and system. However, in the Plan of Action, the training phase was left out. Training will be a major contributing factor to the success of the plan and needs to be addressed in the plan of action. The training needs to be universal for all participants. They need to understand all of the issues and be made aware of where they can receive technical support and assistance when they need it. The action plan needs to provide a more comprehensive plan for training and standardized training materials. "
