This document discusses collaboration in healthcare project management. It notes that electronic health records have connected previously siloed patient data. Trends shaping collaboration include remote work growing rapidly and being done via cloud services. Key enablers of collaboration highlighted are cloud technologies, which allow sharing of files and plans from anywhere; social tools that accelerate collaboration; mobile access to documentation; and big data tools to gain insights. A customer story describes how cloud-based project management software helped improve efficiency. The document stresses that organizations need a culture of proactive sharing, like uploading documents to shared repositories, to truly enable collaboration.

• With right tools, Big Data helps determine next steps
13. Workshop Questions: Collaboration Tools
• List the different tools your organization
or department uses to collaborate.
• Classify each of them as cloud, social, mobile and big
data.
• How do these tools accelerate collaboration for your
teams?
• Do you have any challenges with them?
15. Orgs Need to Share
• Hindered accessibility is the top challenge for
workers*
• Typical organizational habits are “reactive
disclosure”, not proactive sharing: share only when
asked.
