Since implementing a health IT system is often sensitive and complex, utilizing effective project management is important for ensuring that it is on time, within scope and sensitive to costs, resources, and staff. This webinar focuses on the basic concepts and knowledge areas of project management as they apply to a health information technology (IT) implementation.
Presenters include a project management specialist from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Innovation Program Management Center, who will focus broadly on project management.
