Read the first 7 Healthcare Project Management flashcards as text

  1. Which risk response strategy is most appropriate when a healthcare construction project faces a regulatory uncertainty that cannot be eliminated?

    Answer: Accept the risk and establish a contingency reserve

    Accepting the risk with a contingency reserve is appropriate when a risk cannot be eliminated or cost-effectively mitigated.

  2. During the closeout phase of a hospital renovation, the facility manager discovers punch list items were not completed. What is the BEST immediate action?

    Answer: Issue a notice of non-conformance and withhold final payment

    Issuing a notice of non-conformance and withholding final payment ensures contractors complete all required work before financial closeout.

  3. A healthcare facility project is experiencing scope creep. Which document should the facility manager reference first to evaluate proposed changes?

    Answer: Project scope statement and WBS

    The project scope statement and WBS define the authorized work and serve as the baseline for evaluating whether changes are within or outside scope.

  4. What is the primary purpose of a project charter in a healthcare facility management project?

    Answer: Formally authorizes the project and grants the PM authority to apply resources

    A project charter formally authorizes the project and empowers the project manager to assign resources and make decisions.

  5. In healthcare construction, an Interim Life Safety Measure (ILSM) is required when:

    Answer: Fire protection systems are temporarily impaired during construction

    ILSMs are compensatory measures required by The Joint Commission when fire protection systems are temporarily impaired during construction or renovation.

  6. A critical path activity on a hospital expansion project is delayed by two weeks. What is the MOST LIKELY project impact?

    Answer: The project completion date is delayed by two weeks unless corrective action is taken

    Activities on the critical path have zero float, so any delay directly extends the project end date by the same duration unless recovered.

  7. Which earned value metric indicates a project is running over budget for work completed?

    Answer: CPI < 1.0

    A Cost Performance Index (CPI) less than 1.0 means more money is being spent than budgeted for the amount of work completed.
