(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Shakeel, I assume that your interest in healthcare extends to the coronavirus pandemic. If so, I just published the following article "Project Management and Appropriate Project Selection in an Epidemic Response Program". It's based on an excerpt from my book "Managing Projects as Investments".

Dear Steve,
Thanks a lot for your brief note on the topic, much apprciated. Would highly appreciate, if folks can share there lessions learned in order to expand our knowledge horizon and to be more coherent in assembling NUTS & BOLTS for future.
That is true - Health-Care Project Management Enviroment is dynamic and challanging at the same time. Most of the projects in Arabia Gulf; ended up with Huge change requests and scope screep.
I've consulted/trained project management for 30+ years in construction, nuclear power, software, IT, IS, pharma, health care, automotive, defense, aerospace, emergency response, etc., etc. And I can say that health care project management is NEXT TO BOTTOM, just above academia.
However, unlike academia, the drag cost on health care projects is measured in human lives and suffering! People DIE because of projects taking longer than necessary or providing poor quality. And gross PM ignorance combined with lack of discipline are at the root. Doctors often have gigantic egos, and resist being told of their ignorance in management fields.
So, Shakeel, I love to see you seeking info on this topic! But I'd only emphasize that there is lots of PM s/w, but that is the least of the challenges in health care project management. Good luck!
Fraternally in project management,
