CPOE PM
CPOE Project
The clinician provider order entry (CPOE) system intended to dramatically reduce medical errors. The project was initially championed by executive management who pressured IT and the clinical teams to basically preform a miracle. After a change in management a new CEO was appointed who appointed a new CIO for the project. The roles and responsibilities of the team members were unclear and not well defined.
The project failed to organize an implementation team and identify a systems champion. In fact, the leadership changed hands on two levels during the project. The projects scope and expectation were never clearly defined and the rough plan they developed was unrealistic. The one detailed project plan that Martin created was practically ignored by Sparks.
There are many critical success factors in which Health Care Information Systems can be missed and result in project failure. Five of these case factors were identified as:
Lack of Clarity of Purpose -- Nobody agreed on the outcomes of the project
Lack of Belief in the Project -- Many people did not want to use the new system
Organizational Inertia -- Doctors did not want to take the time to use the new system.
Lack of Candor -- There was certainly no candid debate about the realistic timeline of the project.
Project Complexity -- The project was far more complex than was recognized by the leadership.
Using these success factors as criteria for what could have been improved in regard to project management in the project the follow recommendations have been made:
Lack of Clarity of Purpose -- the project champion needed to spend more time trying to build a consensus about the effectiveness of the new system.
Lack of Belief in the Project -- the hospital could have been shown another hospital that was already using the system so they had a better idea of what to expect.
Organizational Inertia -- provide a better reward system to get user buy in.
Lack of Candor -- Martin should have been sterner with Sparks or possibly gone over his head. Sparks was an incompetent manager though.
Project Complexity -- Some like Martin should have been brought in earlier to go over the project scope or at least the original team should have been given sufficient time so that they would not have had to rush and made careless errors.
Project Management Although desirable, it is quite difficult to start with a dictionary definition of project management, mainly because of the complexity involved in the process, a complexity impossible to cover with a simple two-line definition. Hence, it is probably best to describe the process, underlining thus the main characteristics of project management. A company's strategic perspective may, perhaps, be amply resumed to two strategic concepts around which everything else revolves: objectives
.....project management approach is increasingly becoming popular in today's workplace. Organisations are ever more recognising the benefits of accomplishing tasks and activities as projects -- better task coordination, quicker task execution, and so on (Larson et al., 2013). The author's organisation, a renewable energy firm with operations in Australia and beyond, has particularly been shifting to the project management approach in recent years. The organisation is currently interested in acquiring
Project Management Plan of a New Restaurant This project management plan is majorly concerned primarily with the first two steps which are defining the project; the project objective is broken down into a series of manageable steps called tasks and designing the project process; this work is performed by the project manager and is presented in the GANTT chart where the tasks are displayed in more detail (Hamilton, 2004). Besides, for
Project Management in a Legal Context Project management is increasingly becoming a popular and preferred way of contending with inter-organizational ventures that are out of the ordinary. When the functions of a project require the involvement of specialized personnel and skill sets which may not be readily represented from within the company to the fullest extent demanded, it may be appropriate to organize a project team. This might be comprised of
Project Management February J. 2014 A project is a temporary group of activity designed to produce unique products and services or results.

Project Management Involved Formation of Airbus Project Management involved in Formation of Airbus The report investigates factors that led to the A380 project crisis. Analysis of the project revealed that Airbus did not integrate an effective project management model into the project lifecycle leading the project to be two years behind schedule, which eventually led to the costs escalations. The report reveals several lessons to be learned from the A380 project crisis.
