DESCRIPTION

Project Management for Health Services provides the foundation for the Workplace Learning units (project-oriented study) that are a specific feature of this course. A Project brings about change and involves a group of inter-related activities that are planned and then executed in a certain sequence to create a unique product or service within a specified timeframe. Project Management is a formalised and structured method of managing change. On completion, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of PM terminology, an overview of the phases in the life of a health services project and experience in using templates for project management plans for each phase of a workplace-based project. Participants will also be introduced to the key elements that need to be considered no matter what the complexity or size of a health services project.
