Define and analyze the five project management processes in terms of applicability to HMIS implementation needs. Locate and evaluate at least two project management tools and compare their metrics for monitoring the project progress.

Health Information Technology (HIT) Feasibility and Implementation

1. Watch the video on SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) steps – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNmrGZSGK1k ).

2. Analyze the SDLC process explained in the video. Evaluate its application to the development of Healthcare Management Information Systems (HMIS)/Healthcare Information Systems (HIS)? Explain which of the step(s) can be omitted if an organization does not maintain internal IT staff (Hint: Feasibility Study slide). How would this step of the SDLC process be completed without affecting the integrity of the HMIS/HIS? Justify the cyclic nature of the SDLC process. This potion of the assignment could be presented in tabular format.

3. Considering all you researched so far, develop a guide for a local healthcare facility for implementation of a Healthcare Management Information System (HMIS). It should cover differentiation among three terms – project management, program management, and portfolio management.

4. Define and analyze the five project management processes in terms of applicability to HMIS implementation needs. Locate and evaluate at least two project management tools and compare their metrics for monitoring the project progress.

5. Explain how would you keep Scope Creep at a minimum during the project implementation? The presentation should not be more than 5-7 min. The PowerPoint visual aid must have notes and be submitted along with the video.
