Healthcare Information Technology Integrated Project Delivery

Healthcare Information Technology Project Management in the current state isn't working well enough! Not for lack of trying, or lack of skill, or lack of commitment, but for lack of the proper tool set. This book introduces the Lean Integrated Project Delivery and the Lean Construction Institute's methodology referred to as the Last Planner System of Production Control® to Healthcare IT. It is designed to walk you through the steps quickly and easily; a "Vade Mecum" which is Latin for "go with me." Used since the 1600's as a term for guidebooks sufficiently compact to be carried in a pocket, from the beginning, Vade Mecum has also been used for such constant companions as gold, medications, and gems of wisdom. "This book is not just another Project Management book. The tools provided in this book will help deeply integrate IT projects into the business of our Healthcare System, both in clinical and business environments." Michael Garcia, SVP and CIO, Jackson Health System, Miami
