Unfortunately, these studies do not focus on hospital organizations. Using a survey research methodology, this study empirically tests the factors proposed in the literature as important to project success within the context of hospital implementation projects. The following questions are placed in consideration: (1) Do the critical success factors identified in previous research apply to hospital implementation projects? (2) What factors are perceived to be most important during each phase of a hospital implementation project? The findings strongly suggest that the application of critical success factors to project management within hospital environments positively impacts project success. Separate analyses based on the stage within a project’s life cycle, selected by survey respondents to focus their responses, offer support for many of the factors specified in prior efforts; however...

The focus of the analysis was the empirical relationship between a portfolio of project evaluation(1) methods actually utilized for a given project and several measures of perceived project success. The analysis revealed that cost-benefit analysis and top management support were the two project evaluation methods used most often by the hospital managers. The authors' empirical assessment provides evidence that top management support is associated with overall project success.
