This is the 1st in a series of 3 courses on Project Management in Healthcare.

Did you ever wonder why so many projects fail even though well intentioned? Did you ever want someone to explain to you in non technical terms the various forms of project management and how to choose the best for your situation? Were you ever curious about the difference between project management, product management and portfolio management? If so, this is the course for you.

These technologies if implemented correctly have the potential of making healthcare processes more efficient and maximizing patient and user experience. If implemented incorrectly, they can wreak havoc.

Healthcare is unique from other businesses in that its payment models, complexity and its real "life and death" experiences are all very unique. The continuum of care from one healthcare provider to another often seems to be disconnected, resulting in confusing processes and reduced patient experience. This is where effective project management techniques can bring structure, discipline and control into this ever changing world.

My approach to teaching is a very pragmatic one explaining difficult concepts in an “easy to understand” format. This and my other courses are founded on my 35 years experience in the healthcare industry growing my career from development engineer through president. It is also based on my 15 years teaching business and healthcare at the graduate level at 2 Universities.
