Project Management Plan
Training for new HIPAA policies and procedures requires that a project manager organize and communicate the project to ensure everyone involved can work together to accomplish the end goal, which is ensuring all staff of the medical association are successfully trained. There are several parties that will need specific communication and the techniques used to communicate will vary. The parties involved in this project included executive leadership, human resources, legal personnel responsible for conducting the training, office managers, records specialists, administrative assistants, transcriptionists, nurses, doctors, and patients of the medical association. It is the project manager’s duty to facilitate communications with each of these parties to ensure the project runs smoothly.
