Managing non-technical factors in healthcare IT projects.
The implementation of IT within any healthcare organization is a demanding and intense exercise in the management of both technical (systemic) and non-technical (social) influences and factors, and the project process is often fraught with unforeseen obstacles or impediments to success. Project success depends as much on a specific understanding of the non-technical project impediments such as conflicting personalities and corporate culture as it does on the performance of the applied technology or the viability of the implementation process itself.
