The value of enterprise-wide asset life cycle management is well acknowledged among healthcare technology management (HTM) professionals. The challenge, however, is to how to move from a legacy system, with all historical data and well-established processes and workflow, into a completely new system. Managing such a project can be daunting, but its success is crucial to a healthcare delivery organization and underscores the key role that HTM professionals can play. We will describe our experience managing this project for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, share the lessons learned, and outline the essential planning steps that should not be overlooked.
