Innovation in healthcare and in project management
Project intake and initiation was haphazard. Projects were being requested ad-hoc via hallway conversations. There was no standard way to request a project and many great project ideas never surfaced. The circumstances became cumbersome and fell on two people to maintain project status using Excel and homegrown software. A consistent method and system were needed to address these issues. This is where edison365’s innovation management software for healthcare came in.
“We had a pretty good foundation in place for project management and we were looking to take it to the next level. Microsoft Project Online got us there and now, with edison365ideas, businesscase, and projects added on, I’m in love!”
– Gail Strausser, Application Manager at Guthrie.
