Project options

Select ONE project from the project outlines listed below, basing your decision on your familiarity with the content and on your ability to address all assessment criteria.

The projects are intentionally ‘vague’ in nature as you are expected to “flesh out” the details through the preparation of the ‘Statement of Work’ and Work Breakdown Structure, and a ‘risk management plan.’ The vagueness will give you the opportunity to develop the topic to suit your personal interest.

Project outlines: ( choose any ONE)
1.    The relocation of a Health Information Service  department to a new building or new site.

2. The development of a specific Health Promotion campaign for a specific target audience/group.
3- The development and/or conducting of a ‘Quality’ audit of clinical documentation or a specific clinical activity.
