      - Took a 1 year leave of absence from the Information Services department to work for Diagnostic Imaging as their full-time project manager- Led a multi-million project to replace all film x-ray and diagnostic equipment with an electronic Picture and Archiving Communication System (PACS)- Responsible for developing a project charter, detailed budget plan, and project plan in order to obtain approval to proceed from senior management.- The project totaled over seven million dollars with a substantial amount coming from government funding. This required certain adherence to requirements and goals as well as constant communication between stakeholders throughout the project.- Had a staff complement of ten people, both clinical and technical, who either worked as part of the team or directly reported to me for the duration of the project. Their responsibilities ranged from training users, developing documentation and new clinical department processes, technical installation of required servers and workstations across a large geographic area.- My team was also spread across a large area so I needed to work within physical restrictions to still build a strong relationship among team members and ensure the project stayed on time and on budget.- Going into this large project I had almost no knowledge about the Diagnostic Imaging department or their business processes. I engaged stakeholders and researched the issues and developed a plan with the assistance of my team in a short period of time that we were able to have approval to proceed only a short six weeks later.
