Proven strategies for establishing healthcare information technology (HIT) projects, and keeping them running successfully
Co-written by a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and an MD, Project Management for Healthcare Information Technology demonstrates how to integrate project management principles with HIT to achieve success. The book discusses the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) process groups and knowledge areas and explains how they apply to healthcare. This in-depth guide also goes beyond the PMBOK to the areas of technology and change management to assure that healthcare projects are started properly, are successful, and can be maintained.
Project Management for Healthcare Information Technology
- Written authors who teach a course on Project Management for Healthcare Information Technology and work with more than 5,000 hospitals on this topic
- Introduces the PMBOK knowledge areasscope, schedule, cost, quality, HR, communications, risk, etc. in relation to healthcare
- Explains how the PMBOK process groupsinitiation, planning, execution, control, and closingapply to healthcare
- Incorporates the additional areas of technology and change management to ensure that the project is successful
- Uses a fictitious ambulatory electronic medical record (EHR) implementation as a case study
- Includes “lessons learned” and “knowledge checks” throughout the book to reinforce the material covered

A Proven, Integrated Healthcare Information Technology Management Solution
Co-written by a certified Project Management Professional and an M.D., Project Management for Healthcare Information Technology presents an effective methodology that encompasses standards and best practices from project management, information technology management, and change management for a streamlined transition to digital medicine.
Each management discipline is examined in detail and defined as a set of knowledge areas. The book then describes the core processes that take place within each knowledge area in the initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing stages of a project. Real-world examples from healthcare information technology project leaders identify how the integrated approach presented in this book leads to successful project implementations.
Coverage Includes:
- Integrating project, information technology, and change management methodologies
- PMBOK Guide process groups--initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing
- Project management knowledge areas--integration, scope, time, cost, quality, human resource, communication, risk, and procurement management
- IT management knowledge areas--user requirements, infrastructure, conversion, software configuration, workflow, security, interface, testing, cutover, and support management
- Change management knowledge areas--realization, sponsorship, transformation, training, and optimization management
