The document discusses some of the challenges faced in healthcare software projects, including knowledge gaps, resource constraints, and differing expectations between parties. It outlines key methodologies and phases in project management and software development lifecycles. Successful collaboration requires understanding different technical, project management, and clinical perspectives. Iterative development allows solutions to evolve based on experiential learning and feedback from end users.
Good Afternoon everyone, Kia ora tatou
I am a PHMS and have been working at Orion Health for the past 5 years , I also worked as GP for 10 years and did one of the first primary/secondary GP liaison roles.
Done numerous health information system implementation projects
Understanding of project phases and what the tasks are to be done at each stage
Things you wish you had known before you started
What do we learn along the way…
What from a clinical perspective do you get to know is important
Initiation, planning execution and closeout
Quality Resources and Risk
Workflow requirements variation to workflow
If your requirements are incomplete or unclear the project is likely to run into delays and rework, pushing out timelines, causing frustration, costing more
poor business analysis capability 3x as many project failures
Pay a premium of as much as 60% on time and budget
Elite Analysts are those with the industry knowledge
Process of extracting and documenting the requirements must be efficient for the stakeholders
Great business requirements uncover interdependencies , documents the information that supports process

Scope creep - change requests. Goes back to you SoW
Start somewhere and refine as you go
Explore issues, hear different view points,
Impatience, frustration, question the process or purpose of the workshop,
close ideas prematurely or get paralysed with all the options we have come up with
Lots of positives in here
Far better understanding of the complexities of the problem.
· Greater clarity about individual perspectives and the piece of the whole puzzle that each person holds.
Time isn’t wasted re-visiting problems that were addressed too quickly.
· Stronger teams better positioned for problem-solving.
Understand when you are in the groan zone and utilise tools for resolution
This impacts the data we can have displayed
Iterative configuration
Timely feedback is key here
