Project management techniques applicable within the Department of Surgery.
The finite time span and the nonrepetitive nature of the project distinguish it from the routine activities characteristic of the management of a surgical department or division. Defined goals, specific (finite) resource allocation, and identifiable sequential phases also characterize the project. This paper reviews project management techniques that may be useful in the Department of Surgery.
