Project Plan for CNA613: Reducing Medical Errors in Hospital Setting

This project plan, developed for a CNA613 assessment, outlines a hypothetical project aimed at reducing medical errors in a hospital's perioperative department. The plan addresses the problem of inaccurate blood gas results from the i-STAT analyzer leading to misdiagnoses in critically ill patients. The project goal is to reduce medical errors by implementing the GEM4000 blood gas analyzer. The plan includes an executive summary, project overview with problem statement, objectives, and outputs, and detailed sections on scope and time management, communications and stakeholder management, project management office structure and human resources, budget/cost management, risk management, and quality management. It also features an appendix with additional details. The project's success hinges on improving patient safety and aligning with the South Western Sydney Local Health District's strategic goals. The plan emphasizes the importance of stakeholder engagement, risk mitigation, and quality assurance throughout the project lifecycle. The project is hypothetical and designed to demonstrate understanding of project management principles.
