occupational therapist, and physical therapist
Weekly meetings with mentor/sponsor/stakeholder
22. Change is Expected
• "Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what
they have—and underestimate the value of what they may gain by
giving that up.”
~James Belasco and Ralph Stayer

Editor's Notes
Thank you all for being part of the team. Thanks for all your input towards this project.
Kick off time is here. This meeting is to get everybody on board for the project and to make sure that every body is on the same page. The goals of this meeting is to establish communications, appreciate how this project aligns with the institution’s mission and goals and discuss key factors for success.
The institutional mission is to develop and provide an electronic clinical pathway for total knee replacement incorporating a standardized nursing language.
Expectations for this project include planning, change management, risk management, communication plan, reporting requirements, and closing process. Subsequent slides will present details of these expectations.
The development of a knee replacement pathway is very important. According to research pathways help decrease the length of stay of knee replacement patients, provide evidence based guidelines for the care/ management of total knee replacement patients and also provide an electronic means of documenting the progress of total knee replacement patients
Key milestones of this project include completing project objectives, the gathering of information, outline of the pathway, putting the project together on excel and presenting the project to stakeholders in second life.
Meetings to be held in the course of the project development include weekly and monthly meetings with team members.
This kind of change will lead the institution to its goal of electronic documentation as required by the federal government and also meet the organizational mission.
These are the kinds of report that needs to be reported to the stakeholders. The project proposal needs to be approved before we move to the next phase. The project plan involves the scope definition, schedules (including project milestones), budget, risk schedules and roles and responsibilities.
Reports are to be given to sponsor/stakeholder weekly
The purpose of the report is to update the stakeholder on the progress of the project weekly.
The success of this project will depend the pathway being available in the EHR system
