Introduction
Our team will design a new prescription pharmaceutical tracking system for a major hospital in the Houston Texas area. The old system was extremely vulnerable to cyber-attacks and IT infrastructure outages. Additionally, the central database for prescription drugs could not handle the massive amount of data that was being queried and imputed by hospital administration. The hospital we are consulting with is a tier 5 trauma center, which means it is extremely large and terribly busy. The senior hospital executives have requested the development of a system that is more intuitive and experiences less system errors. In essence our team is tasked with building a more robust and efficient enterprise prescription tracking system
Project Management Approach
The Systemx Hospital Pharmaceutical Tracking Database will use an agile based approach to provide the final enterprise healthcare application system. The project team will effectively and efficiently navigate through the five process groups where a feature is completely finished before moving on to another feature. The primary objectives of this project are to complete each feature within scope and time constrains while being considerate of cost. The final project should increase small business information distribution and data integrity by 40% and reduce critical IT infrastructure failures by 90% across all Houston area hospitals. The project plans will be reviewed and accepted before the initiation of the project.
The approach should go as followed.
· Identify healthcare stakeholders and conduct surveys and determine what key information should be featured in the enterprise pharmaceutical application.
· Research software requirements that will adhere to storage, data surety , and platform infrastructure requirements.
· Use an interactive approach to develop the enterprise application. Imperative to project success is critical relevant feedback.
· Set performance metrics to ensure value creation and control any deviations.
The Business Case
Current Situation
The old system for pharmaceutical order tracking used by Houston area hospitals was extremely vulnerable to cyber-attacks and IT infrastructure outages. Additionally, the central database for prescription drugs could not handle the massive amount of data that was being queried and imputed by hospital administration. The hospital utilizing this technology tier 5 trauma center, which means it is extremely large and extremely busy. This means that if their IT systems fail or are unable to hold land send large volume of patient information, they could lose hundreds of millions of dollars in state funding. The stake holders of this project are the patients, staff and benefactors of the Houston are Hospital healthcare system. This project will deliver an enterprise application that is secure, easy to use, able to handle massive volume of patient data and is easy to query and expand.
Analysis of the Situation
The strategy to complete this project is to use an agile approach to produce deliverables and effectively adhere to the triple constraint. The goal of this project is to deliver within scope, time, and cost objectives, as well as adding value to the Houston hospital healthcare system by improving data pipeline integrity, network security and data sharing by 70% in the Houston area. The Hospital already has adequate information technology and support staff needed to complete the enterprise project. An external healthcare informatics, analyst and a clinical pharmaceutical programmer will be hired to serve as consultants on the project.
There are several know risks.
· Security of the clinical database
· Overloading of the current data warehouse
· Total system failures within the IT apparatus
· Data corruption when sending and receiving clinical data.
Critical Success Factors
· Time constrainers are met.
· Scope goals are met.
· Quality assurance maintained during project.
· Healthcare clinical data integrity increase by 70%
· Pharmaceutical data tracking increase by 70%
· IT security infrastructure hardened by 40%
Analysis of Options
Do nothing – Hope that awareness of healthcare pharmaceutical data issues increase on its own in the healthcare industry.
Do the minimum- Create an enterprise application that limits the damage done by faulty healthcare application and organizes and record pharmaceutical data.
Do more than the minimum – Create an enterprise healthcare application that store organizes and categorizes clinical pharmaceutical data and can automatically cross reference it with stored patient data and doctor notes. Additionally, integrate firewalls and virus scanning tool into hospital IT infrastructure to maintain data confidentiality.
Recommendation
The recommendation is to do more than the minimum. Create an enterprise healthcare application that organizes clinical pharmaceutical data automatically cross reference it with stored patient data and doctor notes. The integrate of firewalls and virus scanning tool into existing hospital IT infrastructure will data confidentiality. These additional features will improve hospital performance and patient diagnosis and treatment.
Assumptions
· Project management plan is a living document.
· All tools’ techniques and templates will be overseen by a project manager.
· The enterprise tool will be created with python.
· An iterative agile approach will be used.
Schedule Estimate
The project will be completed in 12 months
Budget Estimate

Scope Change Control Procedures
It is imperative that the project manager is made aware of all changes in regard to the project. This involves ensuring beneficial changes, determining a change has occurs , and managing and changes. In order to maintain the balance of the triple constraint (time, cost, and scope), all changes must be formally documented. To avoid scope creep, procedures are in place that brings any change request through an integrated change control process that must be approved by the project manager an ultimately the project management board which includes a change control board.
The change control systems is integrated with the project management information system in order to easily control the project scope, The change control systems includes request producers documentation, verification tracking systems and approval rejection.
Scope verification must be communicated to the project manager, project management board, steering committee, and stakeholder. Even if a change is minor and verbally accepted, it still has to be formally documented.
This project will use the scope change control procedure followed by the Project Management Institute.
Steps for Change Control:
1. Be Lean – Limit the scope of change and focus on immediate needs.
2. Define preliminary scope – Having a structure; approach of documenting, evaluating, and approving preliminary scope of work
3. Understanding final Acceptance – Understanding how the project sponsors and project management board formally accept changes
