Carefully planned and organized effort toaccomplish a specific, (usually) one-time
objective
Includes:
Developing project plan
Managing plans implementation, along with
appropriate controls to monitor performance
Changing plan and schedule when needed

In Creating a Project Plan, Joe Launi
outlines the technique of factor analysis:
Consider before you finalize your project
plan.
Disciplined technique for investigating,
analyzing, & understanding a project prior
to making any formal commitments

EHR Projects for Smaller Practices
Successful implementation takes time 12-
18 months or longer).
EHR Implementation should be guided byyour long term goals for the practice
A thorough workflow evaluation is also
critical for successful implementation
