What Keeps Me Up At Night • Movement into Dependency on Wireless • Connectivity and VPN Issues • Quantity of Projects • Cornerstone Concept • New Devices • Management of Devices • Toy versus Tool
Smart Phones, Tablets, Anything Shiny • When will I get an oWidget? • How will you use the oWidget? • The oWidget will resolve all my issues. • What issues are you having? • It will help me do my job more effectively. • Do you have requirements for the oWidget? • I want an oWidget. • Do you have a justification for the oWidget? • There are security and procurement issues with the oWidget. • When will I get my oWidget?
Saving Grace • Clinical Research is the focus. • Toys are not the focus. • Tools have the appropriate focus. • Decisions and procurement are based on data. • Policies and Processes govern device procurement and use. • All Shiny Devices require justification to the Director. • Include research process and metrics to measure. • Require follow-up to Director. • All Mobile Devices require justification to the CIO. • All IT Equipment Request go through Budget and CIO Approval.
When implementing devices good/great organizations plan.
Focus on the Function and not the Device • What are the requirements of the device? • What outcome(s) are you looking for? • What problem(s) are you trying to solve? • If you are looking for a replacement for a laptop the a tablet may not be the device. • If you are looking for a great screen to display radiology images to patients while visiting their bed a device with a great screen may be an option.
Device Deployment and Support • Components • Strategy • Requirements • Business • System • Functional • Plans • Project • Communication • Training • Test • Support • Contingency/Disaster Recovery • Project Lifecycle for Initial Roll-out • People • Executive Leadership • Business Owners • Stakeholders • Super Users • Users • Service Desk Staff • Builders • IT Staff • Administrative Support
Infrastructure Must Be In Place • Technologies • Wireless Infrastructure • Support Desk • Management of Device • Procurement • Replacement • Loss • Security • Application Purchases
