Making Information Technology Work: Maximizing the Benefits for Health Care Organizations

A book for senior executives, managers and clinicians that covers the before, during and after stages of a health care information technology (IT) project and provides guidance on how projects can be successfully managed. It shows readers how to assess IT project value before approval, monitor whether projects are on-time and on-budget, and measure performance after implementation. Case studies and effective project management tools and techniques help readers maximize project benefits.

Kropf and Scalzi take a three-part approach that makes it easy for non-IT executives and managers to assess a project s development from start to finish.
