A PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGY FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS WITHIN THE ACADEMIC HOSPITAL PARAMARIBO


 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (ABSTRACT)

 A formal approach with procedures, processes, and techniques is a common aspect most project management processes lack in Suriname.

This is also an issue in the Academic Hospital Paramaribo (in dutch: Academisch Ziekenhuis Paramaribo -AZP). A project methodology guides the project manager to manage the project better to achieve good project results.

 This document describes the development of a Project Management Methodology for the Academic Hospital Paramaribo.

AZP is the largest hospital in Suriname, operating in six different locations in Paramaribo and owning more than 70 buildings. The hospital has 2,300 employees, including medical experts, physicians, nurses, nursing staff, and management staff.

It has a bed capacity of 510 beds and accommodates 2 laboratories, 23 medical specialties, the biggest Emergency center, and only fully equipped Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

AZP is the only hospital center that provides top specialized treatments (such as Cardiac disorders, ER traumas, Eye care services, and Radiotherapy).

 Within the Academic Hospital projects are overseen by several project managers and project leaders each with their way of managing the project.

This is the main reason why the AZP has faced many problems in its project management approach in the past few years.

The lack of structure and procedures are the main issue in the project management process which cause unnecessary delays in projects.

The purpose of this research is to develop a suitable Project Management Methodology (PMM) for the Academic Hospital, to be able to standardize, structure, and organize the work in the project management process to successfully execute its construction projects.

 To further utilize the project management method, there are specific objectives that describe the different tools and techniques used in this research.

To define the best-practice methods for the Academic Hospital a maturity analysis will be conducted to determine the organizational needs of AZP, and different project methodology will be analyzed to establish a suitable project management methodology.

 The method used in this research is based on a literature review of similar researches using the analytical research method.

This analytical research carried out an in-depth Project management analysis for the hospital. The tools used were questions asked, expert judgment, analytical techniques, and maturity model tools. The results of this research will determine the maturity of the organization's project management process and a suitable PMM for the Academic Hospital.
