However, navigating this journey can be difficult without the right staff.  Ask yourself: Who has the skills and staff for these positions? Is there a need to hire additional staff to meet the needs of this healthcare IT project? If so, what budget dollars are available?  Will this funding be in the form of internal or external hires? The answers to these questions will help you create a staffing strategy for your healthcare IT project.  [Read More](https://blog.roihs.com/6-tips-to-staff-your-healthcare-it-project) [![common mistakes](https://blog.roihs.com/hubfs/common%20mistakes.png)](https://blog.roihs.com/7-commonmistakes-erp) ## [Healthcare ERP Implementations: 7 Common Mistakes](https://blog.roihs.com/7-commonmistakes-erp) Jul 2, 2021 2:51:49 PM / by [ROI Healthcare Solutions](https://blog.roihs.com/author/roi-healthcare-solutions) posted in [Project Management](https://blog.roihs.com/topic/project-management), [Infor](https://blog.roihs.com/topic/infor), [Healthcare CxO Topics](https://blog.roihs.com/topic/healthcare-cxo-topics) [0 Comments](https://blog.roihs.com/7-commonmistakes-erp#comments-listing)   [Read More](https://blog.roihs.com/7-commonmistakes-erp) [![client liaison bridge](https://blog.roihs.com/hubfs/AdobeStock_202749057.jpeg)](https://blog.roihs.com/client-vendor-liaison) ## [Why Every Healthcare Leader Needs a Client-Vendor Liaison](https://blog.roihs.com/client-vendor-liaison) Jun 16, 2021 12:34:58 PM / by [James Layton, PMP](https://blog.roihs.com/author/james-layton-pmp) posted in [EHR](https://blog.roihs.com/topic/ehr), [Project Management](https://blog.roihs.com/topic/project-management), [Cerner](https://blog.roihs.com/topic/cerner), [Epic](https://blog.roihs.com/topic/epic), [MEDITECH](https://blog.roihs.com/topic/meditech) [0 Comments](https://blog.roihs.com/client-vendor-liaison#comments-listing)   [Read More](https://blog.roihs.com/client-vendor-liaison) [![Working from home](https://blog.roihs.com/hubfs/Be%20Productive.png)](https://blog.roihs.com/beproductiveathome) ## [Be Productive at Home During the COVID-19 Pandemic](https://blog.roihs.com/beproductiveathome) Mar 25, 2020 4:12:11 PM / by [ROI Healthcare Solutions](https://blog.roihs.com/author/roi-healthcare-solutions) posted in [Human Capital Management](https://blog.roihs.com/topic/human-capital-management), [Project Management](https://blog.roihs.com/topic/project-management) [0 Comments](https://blog.roihs.com/beproductiveathome#comments-listing)   [Read More](https://blog.roihs.com/beproductiveathome) [![pm series 3](https://blog.roihs.com/hubfs/pm%20series%203.jpeg)](https://blog.roihs.com/how-to-avoid-common-project-failures-and-join-those-who-get-it-right-part-2) ## [How To Avoid Common Project Failures and Join Those Who Get It Right: Part 2](https://blog.roihs.com/how-to-avoid-common-project-failures-and-join-those-who-get-it-right-part-2) Apr 18, 2019 3:44:41 PM / by [ROI Healthcare Solutions](https://blog.roihs.com/author/roi-healthcare-solutions) posted in [Project Management](https://blog.roihs.com/topic/project-management) [0 Comments](https://blog.roihs.com/how-to-avoid-common-project-failures-and-join-those-who-get-it-right-part-2#comments-listing)   [Read More](https://blog.roihs.com/how-to-avoid-common-project-failures-and-join-those-who-get-it-right-part-2) [![Healthcare IT Project Management](https://blog.roihs.com/hubfs/Healthcare%20IT%20Project%20Management.jpg)](https://blog.roihs.com/how-to-avoid-common-project-failures-and-join-those-who-get-it-right-part-1) ## [How To Avoid Common Project Failures and Join Those Who Get It Right: Part 1](https://blog.roihs.com/how-to-avoid-common-project-failures-and-join-those-who-get-it-right-part-1) Apr 11, 2019 6:57:31 PM / by [ROI Healthcare Solutions](https://blog.roihs.com/author/roi-healthcare-solutions) posted in [EHR](https://blog.roihs.com/topic/ehr), [Internet of Things](https://blog.roihs.com/topic/internet-of-things), [Project Management](https://blog.roihs.com/topic/project-management), [ERP](https://blog.roihs.com/topic/erp) [0 Comments](https://blog.roihs.com/how-to-avoid-common-project-failures-and-join-those-who-get-it-right-part-1#comments-listing)   When I initially considered writing a blog about creating project success and avoiding common pitfalls, I recalled a [Becker’s](https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/strategic-planning/70-of-hospital-strategic-initiatives-fail-how-hospitals-can-avoid-those-failures.html) report, as well as many others, confirming that 70% of hospital strategic initiatives fail. I wondered how so many projects failed to meet defined goals and expectations. Who was steering or not steering the ship? For five straight years, the statistic remained the same... until the Project Management Institute ([PMI](http://PMi.org)), Pulse of the Profession 2017 [survey](https://www.pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/pulse/pulse-of-the-profession-2017), reported that organizations implementing strategic initiatives are experiencing a higher success rate. This is good news, but there is still significant room for improvement.
