Upcoming Activities
The SIG is undertaking the following activities in the first quarter of
2006. In the second quarter we'll report where we are and come
up with a new list of activities:
-
Appointing a 5-7 person advisory
board with representatives from every region in the state
-
Recruiting speakers for two meetings in the Portland area (next one is in May) and
two in Bangor at EMMC
-
Developing the communities of interest to be
represented on the SIG's Best Practice Web page
- communities suggested
so far include: Strategic Planning, Marketing/Quality (these appear to
lead into one another), Operations, Finance, Career Development,
Construction, Organizational Change - we need more input here! We also
are compiling a list of all the health care special Interest groups so
that we all know who everyone is, what their interests are, what data
they have and their ability to share their resources with others.
We have conducted a survey to obtain the following information: (click
here for the survey results)
-
HC Industry Challenges/Needs

SIG services desired (including web page services)
-
Highest priority training needs

If you did not participate in this survey and want to provide your
thoughts on these matters email us with your postal mail address.
-
Becoming associated with the Maine Hospital Association to facilitate
communication of the SIG's existence and services to the state's 35
community hospitals.
-
Assisting the University of New England's
College of Health Professions to develop a five course Health Care
Project Management Certificate program - this program is the first of
its kind in the country - see this web page for the program description
at www.une.edu/chp/cpe/hcpm.asp
The program is now fully developed -
courses can be taken at UNE's Westbrook Campus in Portland or at one of
six hospitals across the state - let us know if your institution desires
to host an on site program.
-
Gathering a library of Healthcare Project
Management books, articles, DVDs, movies and software to be housed at
the College of Health Care Professions at University of New England and
let out to institutions across the state (we'll trust you to bring them
back!)
-
Developing a list of Healthcare projects underway or proposed
that the SIG can adopt as a Community Service Project. The adopted
project will get free PM advice, assistance in fund raising ( we happen
to have a large number of grant writers and very efficient beggars in
our ranks) , free PR advertising vis a vis the Chapter's numerous well
read communications ( e.g. the newsletter, the web page, the chapter
newspaper ads, the Project of the Year Competition, and the ability to
make present at monthly meetings) and free assistance in developing
marketing materials and connections with influential sponsors and or
institutions willing to operate prototypes.
