Leading the Change Process

Author/Presenter:

Length of the Program: 120 minutes 

Course Description:

Change in healthcare is inevitable.  Today's healthcare manager has to be a leader with a sense of purpose and direction.  Every healthcare organization has already experienced great change and more change will come.  When change occurs, staff may feel as though it is a time of chaos and crisis.  Fear sets in and resistance develops throughout the organization.  This is a time for practical action.  Successful leaders introduce change so that there is greater acceptance of the new direction, purpose or process.  Healthcare leaders have a key role to play in communicating change in a positive light.  Whether change is forced by regulation or legislation, or whether you decide that change is necessary, this program will make a difference immediately.  You will receive practical "how to's" that have been demonstrated to improve employee morale, quality of care and staff performance.
