Appendix
2: Phase II and Ongoing SDP Activity
The results of this plan are meant to be used as a road map, identifying the
major projects that are planned for implementation. This information will be
distributed widely to increase awareness and presentations will be made to
enhance understanding. The SDP project team can provide ongoing consulting to
help projects, whether initiated from this plan or elsewhere, understand the
road map and how each project can contribute or take advantage. Contact any
SDP Project Manager for more information, additional copies of this document,
or supporting information that was used to create this plan. Examples of
additional information include results of interviews, process definitions,
burning issues by functional area, various matrices (process supports goal,
future technologies support process, process involves data, process involves
stakeholder), common process profiles, and current systems inventory
descriptions and evaluations.
It is also important for project leader, directors and department heads to use
project management techniques and provide feedback and input to the SDP Project
Managers and project team as progress is made on projects, as goals change or
new problems are identified. More detail and more up-to-date information will
only enhance the usefulness of the plan. Additionally, the SDP project team
intends to create an annual maintenance process to keep the plan up-to-date.
Complete Other Areas
The broader the scope of the plan, the better the plan. The SDP project team
will complete the information gathering and analysis steps for the Employment
and Research areas in fiscal year 94-95. Results of those two areas will be
integrated with these results. Some interest has been expressed in including
Patient Service in the planning effort in the future. This issue will be
addressed after Employment and Research are completed.
