Applying Project Management Processes to Successfully Complete Projects in Radiation Medicine

摘要

The healthcare environment is complex and subject to continuous change. Decision makers must navigate through an increasing volume of information and incorporate new evidence into clinical practices. Implementing processes that effectively respond to this demand is essential. This article introduces project management processes and presents how they can be included into organizational practices to systematically deliver results. Initial strategies to develop a project management process include implementing project charters, developing and following project plans, and monitoring project status to ensure the intended purpose of the project is achieved. The integration of project management processes enhances the planning and implementation of evidence-based practices and supports the continuous improvement of care experienced by patients.
