Health Care Project Management : The Intersection of Strategy, People, and Process

Consider the next project you will be managing. Perhaps it is a quality, safety, or patient experience project. Perhaps it is a facilities improvement, new construction, revenue cycle management, or cost streamlining project. Whatever it is, when orchestrated in a health care setting, you cannot rely exclusively on classic project management principles to produce the organization’s anticipated results, because health care projects must always balance the interests of the patient with those of the organization.

This unique dual-stakeholder situation requires project management skills that are specialized for health care organizations.

The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health teaches these targeted skills to clinical, operational, and administrative project leaders through Health Care Project Management: The Intersection of Strategy, People, and Process. This acclaimed 4-day course provides practical, evidence-based approaches that help cement the success of a health care project. This includes strategies to:

• Plan your project
• Pitch it effectively to sponsors and stakeholders
• Initiate the project successfully
• Execute and deliver your project
• Close out the project

As a participant, your experience will be focused and relevant, designed to help you achieve optimal project outcomes.
