Program Management
PROGRAM READINESS ASSESSMENT
Large scale Clinical Information System programs and
projects by their nature require Healthcare
organizations to take on new costs, risks and
responsibilities. Many organization initiate new
programs with limited information about the impact of
such a significant undertaking and without a clear
understanding of the decisions being made at this early
stage.
Before starting to invest in a program or project

organization's readiness for program management.
This will enable you to assess your current resources
and infrastructure and therefore be in a position to be
much more accurate in estimating the requirements and
costs of running a Clinical Information System program

At the start of a program it is important that you
identify, assess and plan for:
