The Readiness Assessment stream of the methodology covers how and when assessments will be conducted to assess operational readiness of each clinical area prior to commencing patient care.
Achieving a state of readiness means being in a position to execute a smooth and effective transfer of the operation or commencing a new area from the project team to hospital operations, and that all staff/stakeholders are capable of effective and efficient operations from day one.
