What's New?

My new book was published by Health Forum/AHA Press in September. My co-author is Guy Scalzi and the title is Making Information Technology Work: Maximizing the Benefits for Health Care Organizations. It's a book for senior executives, managers and clinicians that covers the “before, during and after” stages of a health care information technology (IT) project and provides guidance on how projects can be successfully managed. Making Information Technology Work shows readers how to assess IT project value before approval, monitor whether projects are on-time and on-budget, and measure performance after implementation. Case studies and effective project management tools and techniques help readers maximize project benefits.
