Planning and Executing Healthcare Projects

О курсе

This course introduces you to planning and executing healthcare projects in real-world clinical and operational environments. Using a running case study of a remote patient monitoring (RPM) pilot at North Valley Health System, you will learn how project managers transform a project charter into a practical project management plan that guides project work from planning through execution. You’ll develop key project planning skills by creating work breakdown structures (WBS), building project schedules and simple Gantt charts, estimating time and effort, and identifying dependencies and constraints that commonly affect healthcare initiatives. You’ll also learn how to develop realistic budgets, align resources with project needs, and account for the operational realities of healthcare organizations. The course explores stakeholder analysis, communication planning, and risk management, helping you identify key stakeholders, tailor communication strategies, address resistance to change, and document project risks. You’ll also practice evaluating scope changes, preparing for go-live activities, and using dashboards, metrics, and key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor project performance. By the end of the course, you will be able to create a basic healthcare project management plan and apply practical tools that help healthcare projects move successfully from planning into execution.
