Subcommittee of Clinical Leadership Team - Education Information Systems Steering Committee (EIS)

IT Project Priorities
Each of the Steering/Advisory Committees uses the following criteria for approving and prioritizing projects. Project approval is based on a match between priority and resource availability (staff time, budget) to address the project within a reasonable period of time.
In addition to prioritizing projects initiated by various key stakeholders at OHSU, each committee is also asked to identify key issues that they believe would be of value to the organization and to act as sponsors of those issues to the executive leadership of OHSU.
- Priority 1 - project addresses a regulatory issue
- Priority 2 - project addresses maintaining the production IT environment
- Priority 3 - project addresses an enterprise-wide information need
- Priority 4 - project addresses support for an OHSU strategic mission
- Priority 5 - project addresses an individual department information need
