Project Management Accreditation
Project Management
A project is a temporary group endeavor, with an agreed beginning and duration time frame, organized to produce a unique product, service or result. (PMI 2011) A distinguishing characteristic of a project is that it is progressively detailed as the project is better understood by the people working on it. Another characteristic of a project is that it is not a routine operation, although a project may be assembled for the purpose of establishing the procedures that ultimately become routines. Owing to the temporary nature of projects, managers, team members and specialists are assembled for a stated period of time; they often have never worked together before as most of the team members are drawn from regular operating units. Examples of projects are software development, the construction of a building or bridge, a disaster relief effort, or a drive to expand a sales territory in a new geographical market. (PMI 2011) Malcolm Wheatley has determined that projects in the United States account for expenditures of $2.3 trillion annually, which equates to one-fourth of GDP. He estimates that, globally, the number approaches $10 trillion. Special management techniques are required to deliver the desired results, on time and on budget. (ProjectSmart 2011)
Project Management, then, is the application of knowledge, skills and techniques to execute projects effectively and efficiently. It is a strategic competency for organizations, enabling them to tie project results to business goals -- and thus, better compete in their markets. (PMI 2011)
Deriving from the growing importance of project management to enterprises, large and small, a demand for a way to determine the competency of project managers has arisen. Four groups have been established to issue certificates of accreditation, most of which are accepted on a world-wide basis: Project Management Institute, International Project Management Commission, PRINCE, and Agile SCRUM.
Project Management Institute
The Project Management Institute (PMI) is the premier certifying body worldwide. It has 500,000 members from 184...

Management Project in the Health Care Organization Setting This study describes the implementation of a syndromic surveillance system. The syndromic surveillance system collects and analyzes prediagnostic and nonclinical disease indicators, drawing on preexisting electronic data that can be found in systems such as electronic health records, school absenteeism records and pharmacy systems. The systems are utilized to identify specific symptoms within a population that may indicate a public health event
Accreditation is 6 months away and your strategic planning documents will be shared. What will you do in the next 6 months to show that you are fixing the problems? I will emphasize our areas of expertise, i.e. The hospital's cancer activities and heart disease projects, releasing a flurry of reports about our studies and activities in this area. We will also center on our attraction to a non-traditional population,
