Purchasing and Installing Peripheral IVC Device: NSW Hospital Project

This project plan outlines the implementation of a near-infrared light device for peripheral intravenous cannulation (IVC) in the paediatric ward of New South Wales Hospital. The project aims to improve treatment facilities for patients and staff by enhancing the success rate of cannulation, especially in children with difficult venous access. The plan includes project scope, objectives, deliverables, and a detailed work breakdown structure. Key elements involve planning, device acquisition, documentation, schedule, quality assurance, and employee training. The project management structure includes a project sponsor, manager, and team, with regular reporting to ensure cohesive integration. The expected outcomes are a significant increase in successful first-attempt cannulations, reduced procedure time, and decreased errors, ultimately enhancing patient care. Appendices contain the work breakdown structure, budget, and risk register, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to successful project completion.
