“I learned project management in college and I've been doing it ever since,” said Allard. “It's easy to get overwhelmed by a big job but the steps you follow to see it through are the same whether you're integrating a new vendor or adopting an EHR.”
Allard uses the adage about eating an elephant (How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.) to illustrate how even the most complex job can be divided into easy-to-manage steps.
“A big part of it is having the right software,” she said. “I use Microsoft Project but there are many similar programs on the market. Any good project management software will allow you to schedule tasks, insert notes, assign jobs and share your progress with others on your team.”

Allard, a 24-year veteran of the transcription industry, is a recognized expert in the clinical documentation field and has previously offered webinars and presentations for other national audiences. She most recently spoke in August at AHDI's national Convention and Expo in Phoenix, AZ, where she discussed “The Ins and Outs of Applying for a Work-from-home Job” and joined SpeedType CEO Betsy Ertel in a workshop advising other transcription companies on how to start a student externship program.
Allard's presentations are available to the public free of charge. To obtain a copy of her presentation or to schedule her for a speaking engagement or webinar, email her directly at lallard@nemtinc.com or call NEMT at 207-443-6919.
