1. PROJECT BACKGROUND1. PROJECT BACKGROUND
1.1 E1.1 EXECUTIVEXECUTIVE S SUMMARYUMMARY - -RATIONALERATIONALE FORFOR THETHE PROJECTPROJECT
The goal of this project is to implement Kronos Workforce Time Keeper 6.0, an electronic time keeping system that will integrate with SHARE Human Capital Management System at each of the facilities. As part of this implementation, policies and procedures will be developed to support the use of Kronos. This technology will have an impact on the Facilities’ ability to achieve goal alignment. This system will provide tracking and reporting of employee work times to assist in workforce management.
Kronos is currently implemented at two of NMDOH’s facilities – New Mexico Behavioral Health Institute (NMBHI) and Sequoyah Adolescent Treatment Center. In 2006, NMBHI successfully integrated Kronos with SHARE. NMDOH plans to build upon the success of NMBHI’s implementation of Kronos and integration with SHARE.
Currently, DOH facilities are using a multitude of platforms for time keeping and scheduling employees. Each facility or program has a distinct business process for reporting and approving time. This requires manual repetitive work each pay period. More important, this manual process creates challenges with scheduling the appropriate number of staff to care for the patients and managing staff overtime. Proper patient to staff ratios are required to maintain and/or to achieve accreditation.
Patient care and safety are important to each facility. Staff is oftentimes over scheduled to provide required coverage for patients/clients to maintain appropriate safety and care standards. Adequate coverage will reduce the occurrence of pressure sores in patients. The current manual system does not allow for timely reports to accurately schedule caregivers.
With automation, electronic time keeping processes will reduce the time required to report and approve work schedules. Implementation of Kronos will streamline business processes to improve efficiency and provide reports required for planning and licensing purposes.
1.2 S1.2 SUMMARYUMMARY OFOF THETHE FOUNDATIONFOUNDATION PLANNINGPLANNING ANDAND DOCUMENTATIONDOCUMENTATION FORFOR THETHE PROJECTPROJECT
In February 2006, a requirements document was created by a team of people who represented each facility along with a representative from the IT division. This team was convened to examine and document time keeping requirements for the department’s 24/7 facilities.
The data for the requirements analysis was collected through the use of a written survey and a working conference call with the team. The findings from the team have been updated and incorporated into the Business and Technical objectives.

Project Charter The Project Charter for Certification sets the overall scope for the project, the governance structure, and when signed is considered permission to proceed with the project. The Project Charter for Certification is used to provide the Project Certification Committee with adequate knowledge of the project and its planning to certify the initiation phase of the project
Certification Form The Request for Certification and Release of Funds form is submitted when a project goes for any of the certification phases. It deals with the financial aspects of the project, as well as other topics that indicate the level of planning that has gone into the project. Many of the questions have been incorporated into the preparation of the project charter
Project Management Plan “Project management plan” is a formal document approved by the executive sponsor and the Department and developed in the plan phase used to manage project execution, control, and project close. The primary uses of the project plan are to document planning assumptions and decisions, facilitate communication among stakeholders, and documents approved scope, cost and schedule baselines. A project plan includes at least other plans for issue escalation, change control, communications, deliverable review and acceptance, staff acquisition, and risk management. plan.”
IV&V Contract & Reports “Independent verification and validation (IV&V)” means the process of evaluating a project to determine compliance with specified requirements and the process of determining whether the products of a given development phase fulfill the requirements established during the previous stage, both of which are performed by an organization independent of the lead agency. Independent verification and validation assessment reporting. The Department requires all projects subject to oversight to engage an independent verification and validation contractor unless waived by the Department.

Issue management and resolution helps to resolve those issues not anticipated during planning process. Issues should be reported at the earliest possible time so that corrective action can be developed to deal with the issue. The corrective action should address both the immediate need and the underlying cause of the issue. The Project Manager will keep an issue tracking log and will work with the Project Team for corrective action.
The Project Manager will maintain an action item list. This action item list identifies the action item, the reference item, the responsible party, the solution, and the due and completion dates. Updates may also be reflected in meeting minutes.
