Question

Create a project charter using Microsoft Word that will be based on the following scenario:

Scenario: You have just been placed on an IT project management team to develop a Master Patient Index (MPI) system. This 300-bed facility is currently using a paper- based system and is slowly making the transition to electronic systems. The system they want to purchase and manage is an electronic MPI system for the Admissions department. They want this system to be able to be accessed easily by other hospital departments (administrative and clinical). The systems should also have interoperability to work with their electronic pharmacy system and laboratory system (which went live 2 years ago) and eventually, with their E.H.R. product that they plan to select and implement within the next 5 years. Two people will be helping you on the project. One is a systems analyst; the other is a person who is very familiar with project management within the facility. Based upon the information provided, construct the project charter by following these steps in the process:

• Using Microsoft Word, construct the following:

Come up with a name for the project.

Identify the project stakeholders, their roles, and their titles.

Provide a brief description of the project.

Develop the measurable organizational value (MOV) for this project.

Specify what should not be included in the project’s scope.

Identify some of the risks associated with this project.

Specify the project’s scope in terms of the high-level features or

functionality that should be included in the MPI system.

Specify the resources that will be required and provide an estimated cost

for each resource.

(Be sure to include a reference or sound basis to justify the cost for each resource.)

Answer 1

Master Patient Index system:
    MPI plays a major role in hospital information system..it provides access to high quality patient care,medical records and billing information..HIM professionals involvement for MPI is must(HIE) health information Technology implementing their HIEs through HITECH Act grants..Return policies may be problematic converting a single MPI or multiple MPIs..
   Health information department should track and check every record..Health information directors had different points of view about record retention and the consolidated MPI..The medical center was planning to consolidate all MPIs. Health information directors have to take care of budget needs..Many departments with independent MPIs is needed to avoid errors..clerical staffing is important for MPI project..
Project manager is a supervisor in HIM department and they have to see budget for large project or medium project..they have to monitor the MPI schedule completion date they have to submit weekly statistical reports to adminitration department if there is any obstacles and facing the problems with the MPI and decreasing workload..he must be a good communicator with sharp analytical skills..
Measurable Organizational Value(MOV):
    It is a management inforamtion system that develop and measure organizational values in alternative to the use return on investment..It evaluates and compare the profit to its cost,it also measure project success or failure..Use of MOV for organizational project to produce stratigic,customer,operational,social or financial benefit..
Duplicate patient record often cause problem and risk for this MPI project..Potential quality standards needed for this project..it provides negative outcomes for this project.it can lead to future increase in medical malpractice claims..contemporary health care risk manager must be aware of duplicate health records and implement proper meaures to reduce the risk..New technologies like probabilistic analysis can help limit the risk of duplicate patient records..
