I'm feeling a bit (okay, extremely) trepidatious about this.
I am the project manager and am leading the team of nurses who, with me and the vendor reps, will be building the care plans, flow charts, assessments, etc. that go into it.
I have led projects before, but they were always in much bigger facilities with a lot more money. Our annual budget is a roll of duct tape and what grants we can scrounge. Just today a router failed and we don't have $25k to replace it should it become necessary.
I also knew the front-ends inside out. I don't on this system. This will be replacing an extant older version, but the data will NOT be flowing as it did, from Java to the AS/400, but reside exclusively in Jave. Well, that's great, but our entire back-end financial system, same vendor, is still on the 400 and I have real concerns about integration, as we were just told that existing patient information will not automatically flow, and will not be converted, either.
Anyone have any tips for me?
And thanks. This is the reason I was hired. I'm not worried that I won;t meet their expectations, but I'd like to exceed my own.
