Negley, Ott & Associates, Inc. Completes Initial Scope of Consult
NOA Consultants Cary Negley, Rod Walker and Joe Barone recently completed an initial scope of a project to support deployment plans for the Misys-CPR™ / Misys-CPOE™ (formerly Patient1®) at Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital (POH) in Pontiac, Michigan.

 

The scope of the initial consulting engagement included providing specific deliverables designed to position POH for greater success and return on investment for the planned computerized patient record system.  The deliverables sought by POH include the following:

  • Review and define role and scope of responsibilities of the CPR project manager for ROI success.

  • Finalize project charter through defining a focused set of tangible goals and objectives that will contribute to greater ROI for the CPR project at POH.

  • Review and identify project related risks associated with work plans and knowledge transfer process  in order to recommend strategies to mitigate risks.

  • Develop a communication strategy and tool for development of best practices to achieve greater organizational alignment and project related ROI.

  • Educate on best demonstrated practices relating to planning and measuring ROI for the Misys-CPR™ system.

  • Educate on best demonstrated practices relating to MPI conversion planning and hardware deployment.

As a result on POH's strategic decision to leverage NOA, the project management team at POH is well on its way to achieving the greatest return on investment possible with the Misys-CPR™ product.  Upon completion of the initial project scope, NOA has been able to add POH to the long list of satisfied customers for the services and support offered by Negley, Ott & Associates, Inc. 

According to Dr. Steven B. Calkin, DO, FACOI, Vice President of Medical Affairs,

"Let me take this opportunity to express what a pleasure is has been to have NOA serve a consulting role for POH during the early stages of our implementation of Misys-CPR™.  Your team (Rod Walker, Cary Negley and Joe Barone) has been invaluable in helping our team (analysts and the executive steering committee) anticipate issues that always come up during an implementation of this magnitude, but more importantly, are offering insight that only people with product experience can provide, giving us confidence that all of our efforts at selecting such a robust product will not be wasted.  We selected NOA from several companies vying for the right to serve this role because of your extensive experience with this product.  As the executive champion for this project, I appreciate your involvement because it has calmed the fears and anxieties of our team so much that I can afford to pay attention to other issues."

 

Congratulations to The Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital on their successes on the CPR project initiative and for their commitment to demonstrating quality and excellence towards community health by using the Misys-CPR™ / Misys-CPOE™ (Patient1®) system as an integrated electronic health record!
