Course Overview

Scope on electronic health record projects expands through small agreements made in isolation. Stakeholders withdraw support for record projects quietly before they withdraw it formally. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this strand of project and portfolio delivery under scrutiny. What blocks progress on electronic health record projects is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in the project and portfolio delivery capability that were visible long before the incident. Participants test their assumptions about record projects against scenarios designed to break weak ones. The programme works equally well for those formalising electronic health record projects for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The programme converts record projects from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this area of project and portfolio delivery ready to put in front of a decision maker.
