The U.S. and the world as a whole spends one fourth of its GDP on projects, and many of those are related to healthcare. Employers list project management skills behind only communication and technical skills for new college graduates.

Many companies and academic programs in business, information technology, and engineering now require courses in project management, and it’s time for healthcare organizations and programs to do the same!

Kathy Schwalbe has written several books on project management, including a new one targeted for healthcare professionals.

• See how key project management concepts can be applied to important healthcare initiatives with detailed examples on a case study to reduce hospital acquired conditions.
• Discover what is different about projects in the healthcare industry and discuss approaches to teaching important project management skills to healthcare professionals.
