You are the newly appointed manager of the hospital\u2019s clinical redesign and education unit. You have<\/p>\n
been recently approached by the management of your hospital about the new release of the software<\/p>\n
for electronic health records. This release will involve significant new functionality to that which is<\/p>\n
currently provided. There will be new software, hardware required as well as a large change<\/p>\n
management requirement.<\/p>\n
The new functionality in particular addresses requirements for some of the key specialties including<\/p>\n
cardiology and respiratory. New pathways are also being built into the EMR to aid with the<\/p>\n
management of stroke, cardiology and hip fracture in line with current guidelines. The new release of<\/p>\n
software will expand the amount of information currently shared with polyclinics and community based<\/p>\n
service programs.<\/p>\n
In order to ensure that the implementation of the new software release is a success, the hospital<\/p>\n
executive want to provide funding to your unit for a project. The project funding will assist with<\/p>\n
preparing staff education, clinical pathways and any other necessary task that you identify as<\/p>\n

The executive has given you 3 weeks to complete the project plan. The major deliverable from the<\/p>\n
project when it is completed is a report that outlines how the new release will be implemented and<\/p>\n
recommendations to ensure its success.<\/p>\n
