Explanation / Answer

Answer

Question: Who would you include in your team and why?

Answer: The team needs to be cross functional team which means minimum one representation from each and every department of the hospital or clinic where computers are in use.

The team under development is going to be the team who will creates or helps in creating the policy on good computer habits. So input from each and every department is needed so that the policy can be made using all diverse inputs and the rules which will be applicable for each and every department of the hospital/clinic.

Departments in hospital are like admission department, billing department, lab department, medicine department, O.T. department, Mediclaim department, food department, counseling department, housekeeping department, nursing departments, facility department, maintenance department etc.

The representative from each department is needed because the inputs are needed from each department, so that their voice/ requirements of each department are captured and feed back in the policy, so that the policy captures requirements of all departments. When the policy is formed, then the department representative can explain/teach/educate their department team members on the upcoming policy on good habit of computer usage.
