Healthcare Information Technology Project Management in the current
state isn't working well enough! Not for lack of trying, or lack of
skill, or lack of commitment, but for lack of the proper tool set. This
book introduces the Lean Integrated Project Delivery and the Lean
Construction Institute's methodology referred to as the Last Planner
System of Production Control(R) to Healthcare IT. It is designed to walk
you through the steps quickly and easily; a "Vade Mecum" which is Latin
for "go with me." Used since the 1600's as a term for guidebooks
sufficiently compact to be carried in a pocket, from the beginning, Vade
Mecum has also been used for such constant companions as gold,
medications, and gems of wisdom. "This book is not just another Project
Management book. The tools provided in this book will help deeply
integrate IT projects into the business of our Healthcare System, both
in clinical and business environments." Michael Garcia, SVP and CIO,
Jackson Health System, Miami
