Abstract:

The focus of this paper is on basic project management practices in healthcare informatics, particularly risk and configuration management. Highly complex healthcare technologies, such as the integration of electronic health records (EHRs), the implementation of clinical decision support systems, and the interoperability of health data, require careful structuring of decomposition, estimation, and management of continuously evolving requirements. This analysis uses an adapted case study and Microsoft Project to illustrate the integration of PERT and CPM principles with expectation management and project estimation models in the configuration management of healthcare informatics, where clinical safety, data integrity, regulatory compliance, and system reliability and availability are critical.
