Business Case Summary
Imagine that your team has been selected to consult for a community health care outreach organization that cares for homeless and indigent people. Because of the transient nature of these individuals, it is nearly impossible for them to maintain a comprehensive and easily accessible medical record. Your organization believes that personal health record (PHR) technology could help their constituents have access to a medical record anywhere and anytime. A local philanthropist has donated $10,000 toward this effort. The organization’s board has evaluated a variety of alternatives for PHR, recognizing the acquisition and operation costs and the limited available budget. They have decided the most cost-effective approach to providing PHRs is by using the PHR developed by the Veterans Affairs (VA) Health System that is available for free to anyone.
Your goal is to develop a project management plan for the implementation of a web-based personal health record using the VA Health System’s MyHealth-e-Vet PHR.
This cumulative project is due in Week 5. Each week, your team will work on a different section of the plan. Your team must submit the draft of the assigned section.
Develop your project management plan using the template from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
