Building
"People-Centric" Projects in Healthcare IT
Jay Ress, PMP, Healthcare SIG Director of Education.
Session Description
PMI® defines project success as meeting stakeholder
requirements and expectations. This demands a management approach that
is “people-centric” rather than “technology-centric.”
This workshop will teach communication and interpersonal skills that create
a position of strength for Healthcare IT projects and project managers.
This course will focus on proven methods that gain buy in and build credibility
with healthcare executives, with clinical stakeholders, and
with the people who work on the project

It is the project manager's responsibility to collect this valuable information and archive it for similar projects in the future.
