Staffing and Expertise

As part of the planning process, a health center should conduct an assessment of the existing personnel resources and determine what other expertise will be needed to successfully implement a new health IT system. The resources below offer guidance on the type of leadership and project team members that typically constitute the implementation team. A set of job descriptions for assessing the expertise and experience of your current staff and for recruiting additional staff is included.
