Build on Your Project Management Competency

Project Management

Project management put simply is the process of seeing a project through from initiation to closure. By building on your project management competency, you will learn how to avoid miscommunications and unforeseen project hurdles, while also saving your organization valuable time and resources during vital planning, design and construction projects. 

Critical skills for this competency include:

  • Managing contracts 
  • Selecting proper construction delivery methods 
  • Using facility data to enhance/improve design, construction and operations 
  • Mitigating impacts to patient care and staff during construction (PCRA/ICRA/ILSM) 
  • Planning for an effective and seamless handoff between PDC and facility
