Forming Committees

    Topic: Forming Committees

    Order Description
    You are the chairperson of a large IS Committee in charge of implementing a new EHR. The committee is so large that you are not getting anything done. For example, you met for 4 hours yesterday and only got through 3 of the 15 items on the agenda, because everyone wants to have his or her say in each issue. The committee make-up is as follows:

    Project leader
    HIM Director
    Vice President, Finance
    Vice President, Clinical Services
    Chief Information Officer
    Director, Lab
    Director, Radiology
    4 computer programmers
    Vice President, Nursing
    2 vendor representatives
    Director, Cardiopulmonary Services
    Director, Materials Management
    Director, Research
    3 systems analyst
    2 database administrators
    Director, Training
    The decision has been made to create subcommittees. The subcommittees will be:

    Training
    Data Management (date quality, data collection, and data retrieval)
    Development (programming, customization)
    Conversion
    Interfaces
    All representatives should be on at least one subcommittee.

    Who would you place on each subcommittee? Why did you choose them? What charge would you give to each subcommittee?
