Abstract
The development of strategic directions discussed in Chapter 6 is critical for long-term success. However, the actual implementation process requires far more detailed communication and planning. The managerial framework used for health informatics implementations is typically the one known as project management. This is not a book on the details and techniques of project management; there are already many good ones on the market. For those needing a managerial primer on the subject, we recommend Project Management by Meredith and Mantel. 1
