Presentation Details OkonImoh

Traditionally, project management (PM) applications focused predominantly within certain industries, including construction, engineering and telecommunications. In recent years, tangible benefits of PM applications has expanded and garnered acceptance across several non-traditional sectors.

The U.S. healthcare system and clinical research enterprise involves various stakeholders (providers, patients, insurance and pharmaceutical companies, CROs, government agencies, etc.), and offers enormous opportunities of PM solutions that directly impact quality, affordability (timeliness and costs) and efficiency.

Dr. Okon brings a system-lens perspective and PM solutions within the context of US healthcare system and clinical research.

Summary:
1. Overview of my research, technological advances and PM in research.
2. Clinical research and trials: Any roles for PM applications?
3. U.S. Healthcare system: What has PM got to do with it?
4. Health-in-all-policies: Implications and opportunities for PM.
5. Future of U.S. healthcare: Opportunities for leveraging PM to advance population health.
