Building partnerships through collaboration.
There are occasions when two or more departments wish to share resources (i.e. staff, equipment or services). Participating departments should complete the Statement of Work template to document the business agreement.
Statement of work: A document routinely used to describe services to be rendered. It provides a clear understanding of the project-specific activities, deliverables and timelines. Also known as a SOW.
Business units/departments: The parties involved in the SOW. This can be unit to unit (i.e., Management and Nursing), or within the same unit (i.e., Chemistry and Biology). There is no limit to the number of parties that can be part of the SOW.
Scope: Defines the relationship of the parties and provides a detailed explanation of the service that is to be completed.
Start date and duration: Date which the service will begin and the period of time to complete. For example, the duration may be days/weeks/months and may specify hours per day/week/month.
Deliverables – what is the expected result? This section should define the expected end result.
Additional information: This section is for any additional information that the parties believe should be documented.
A unit or department must complete the Statement of Work (SOW) Template, adding all relevant information.
