Companies in the Health Care industry must address ongoing government mandates, compliance issues, critical safety events, and sustaining existing systems while balancing new business requests for technology enablement for physicians and hospitals.

With health information management initiatives absorbing considerable budget, executives are faced with the ever-increasing challenge of doing the absolute right things for the business – with less.

Pcubed partnered with Novant Health to implement a portfolio governance framework to manage an extensive pipeline of business requests through optimization and drive selection of strategically aligned projects by an executive governance committee.

The session will present the highlights of the approach — from a process and technology perspective. We’ll review results that have positioned Novant Health for successful execution of its 2012 initiatives with visibility into budget, resource capacity, and project priority.

These results will enable Novant Executives, the IT PMO, PMs, and Resource Managers to effectively manage portfolio delivery in a very demanding and dynamic environment.

Presenter:Sandra Kale , Novant Health
