Let’s discuss the Ten AMIA working groups together with the IMIA work group findings on Organizational and Social Issues for project failures and how to lessen those risks.  Specifically, let’s discuss communication, workflow, and quality; the complexity of IT undertakings; the need to integrate all aspects of projects, work environments, and regulatory and policy requirements; and the difficulty of getting all the parts and participants in harmony.

How do you address what “success” and “failure” mean, what contributes to making successful or unsuccessful systems, how to use failure as an enhanced learning opportunity for continued improvement, how system successes or failures should be studied, and what AMIA should do to enhance opportunities for successes?
