Starting your accreditation process – Tip #4: Get Dedicated
Most accreditation projects stall because the other job responsibilities of team members get in the way. This is especially true if the project manager is also trying to run the IRB or compliance office. It’s hard to pay attention to the big picture projects when day-to-day crisis management tasks occupy all of your energy.
- If you can dedicate a full time person to be in charge of the process, do it!
- If you can’t dedicate someone on your staff to manage the project, hire a consultant! Having an outside voice of authority is usually a motivating factor, and experienced consultants can help you with everything from providing templates to content expertise to project management.
