MY take is somewhat outside the mainstream. One camp wants the clinical side to run the show, the other is pulling for IT. I am pulling for neither, opting instead for a Program Management Officer (PMO) who knows how to lead.

Unfortunately that experience is best gained by working on projects and managers are reluctant to hire folks who haven’t been sanctioned by vendors, even if they have implementation extensive experience. It’s quite the paradox. The really wacky part is that the certifiaction process doesn’t address workflow issues, just technical specs.
