Get key stakeholders to lead the change on a clinical level
Rubber meets the road in your physicians, nurses, and desk staff. If you have your physicians and nurses on board with the technology change, it will make the transition easier. They will be able to champion the change to doubtful team members, which is something you can’t be everywhere to do all the time.
Have resources lined up
View the change as a journey, not a destination. Make sure there are adequate resources, finances, and infrastructure to sustain the change. You can also get clinicians involved in planning and ongoing education.
Maintain a realistic timeline
If you push too hard or let things slide, you will harm the change process. Instead, cultivate enthusiasm and momentum and prevent sliding by designing and maintaining a realistic timeline. This will help you manage expectations, which is incredibly powerful during change.
