The importance of project planning cannot be overstated. Too often, healthcare organisations overestimate how quickly they can achieve deliverables, underestimate the costs, or both—a recipe for failure. Some common examples include the deliverable of an IT infrastructure without considerations for the existing cabling inside the building.
Project management is all about communication and ensuring that the right people complete the right tasks in the right way. Without effective project management, most healthcare enterprises fail in their IT deployment during the implementation phase and most likely than not, it’s due to a lack of project control.
Quality outcomes is an essential component of project management. Your project could meet all parameters for time and budget, but if the quality standards aren’t met, the project will be deemed a failure. At REND we ensure that the end outcomes are per your expectations.
At REND, we work diligently to ensure that our project targets and quality of project outcomes surpass our client’s expectations. With hundreds of projects implemented and thousands of doctors supported, we feel we’ve got the secret sauce to a successful project.
Are you in the process of starting a new healthcare project or you’re currently
going through an IT project that’s not going as planned? Let’s chat.
We listen closely to your vision and needs to support the vision. Our engineers recommend a solution based on your scope, budget, time-frame and digital health requirements. We also consistently meet with all relevant stakeholders to ensure that what we are delivering is in keeping with your expectation.
As soon as we are engaged, you will work with a dedicated project manager who will put forward clear outcomes and scope of works plans. The project manager will work with you from the kick off of the project to the handover phase. Post the project completion, you will complete a project delivery survey and only when you sign off the project, do we close it.
We provide concise reports and progress updates to ensure all stakeholders are kept up to date on a project’s status. Your dedicated project manager will also facilitate ongoing meetings and teleconference to communicate any updates or potential risks in the project. We believe 90% of a successful project is the ability to communicate with the stakeholders.
More often than not, healthcare enterprises engage our services when a project is not being delivered per the agreed framework by another vendor. In this scenario we review the scope of work and put forward a remediation plan along with a new project plan to rescue the project and bring it back on track.
With a team of 13 engineers and a wide partner network, REND Tech delivers over $1m a year in healthcare technology projects. From implementing the IT of a new clinic to the rollout of the My Health Record, our skillsets can vary and scale to a per project requirement.

It also helps that we deliver 100+ projects per year.

“Our company is very pleased with the way REND Tech conducts themselves in a dedicated and professional manner. They were brought on board just prior to construction of new hospital and a major IT overhaul. This was a huge project and we had constant support throughout, allowing us to reach the standard we had envisioned. Their support staff continue to impress, with an efficient and expedient response to any issues that arise. We have no hesitation in recommending REND Tech to any business requiring superior IT service.”
“Our business needed a quick, affordable and secure solution that wouldn’t involve the high overhead figures and time involved in setting up a secure in-house server and network. I was so excited to find out that this was exactly what REND could offer us.
Whist taking this step seemed overwhelming at first, it has been relatively simple and is one of the best decisions we’ve made. Since we’ve implemented the cloud, Rob and his support team have been extremely helpful in ensuring that we have all the assistance we need, going above and beyond what I had expected. It’s like we now have a full-time IT staff member on call but for a fraction of the cost”
“We wanted to implement a technology platform which would support our large and demanding medical centre whilst at the same time, ensure that all of our subtenants had the opportunity to use the same infrastructure if needed.
REND Tech Associates were able to work with our executive & operational team to design & implement a technology ecosystem which would be able to support our business goals and clinical requirements in the short and long term.
We knew our deadlines were difficult to meet and the budget allocated was challenging. I am pleased to say that the project was delivered both on time and within budget.
I would highly recommend all healthcare enterprises who are looking to expand and standardise their technology platforms to get in touch with REND Tech Associates”
Whether you outsource your IT or have your own internal IT staff, REND can offer you solutions that help you get the most out of your IT investments.
