POSITION DESCRIPTION:

The Project Manager (PM) is accountable and responsible for "order fulfillment" from the view of three major stakeholders—the facility, the clinicians and the organization. This includes pre-inception planning, inception management and ongoing maintenance and management. Provides professional program management for all on-boarding, national and internal development programs. Acts as a central contact for information on all organizational projects (on-boarding and internal) and manages activities to develop and standardize programs and procedures across all departments. Ensures that team and line management concurrence is reached on project objectives and meets the planned objectives to achieve organizational goals of timely and quality-focused transitions and on-boarding of new facilities for all internal projects driving procedural reform and greater efficiency.

There is a putative shift in the perioperative care paradigm. With projected economic and access pressures, thoughtful delineation of duties, with an eye on being efficient in both time and geography, will be precursors to success. Moreover, the tenets to perioperative efficiency will become natural areas of great study and those strategic and tactical plans that have, at their core data-based affirmations arrived at through scientific study, will reign sovereign over those based on purely best intentions. The PM is accountable for strategic, tactical and operational efforts and work products following therefrom.

The PM works closely with Senior Management to develop strategy, establish objectives, and monitor team progress. Makes recommendations regarding project objectives, resource requirements, and strategic direction to CAO and senior management.
