Project Premortem, Prospective Hindsight, Healthcare Project managementAbstract
Many Healthcare initiatives & Projects are planned in Healthcare sector and usually after the initial sensitization sessions and Brainstorming among stakeholders the Projects are implemented. Monitoring and Review/Evaluation is done at the end of Project duration or during some specifically decided time interval as per standard practices.
Strength, weakness, opportunities & threat (SWOT) analysis or critical evaluation/analysis is done. If the Project Objectives are not achieved as expected the insights gained by these methods are used as lessons learnt which are to be kept in Mind while planning for next cycle of the project or while planning some new Project if relevant to it. This end of project evaluation is in fact post-mortem of the project.
