Internal and External Resources to Support the Change Initiative The internal resource which can support the change initiative is the employees of the healthcare organization. The employees will support this change because the change will have a positive impact on them. With the recruitment of new employees the work load of the existing employees will change. Thus they will favour the change. The external resource which can support the change initiative is competition. Since due to shortage of employees the quality of care will be reduced and other organizations make take advantage of this and draw patients to their healthcare institution. The healthcare organizations will be forced to bring this change so as to compete with other healthcare
The roles of the leadership in the clinics are essential to the success or unsuccessful implementation of change. The attitude of the leadership carries weight on how well the rest of the staff receives the change. Leaders on the clinic level have to accept changes whether good or bad and expect staff to challenge them. Leaders have to be strong and accept the change themselves and to support upper management. There are problems dealing with changes when issues arise between created civilian and military personnel. These issues are not easily dealt with and when changes are ensuing within a facility this causes undue stress within the organization. This is one reason that leadership needs to bring forth and implement changes within an organization as all one team because staff is well suited at picking up any rift
Implementing change among all organizations is necessary to achieve success; within the health care industry change is constant and it is the role of management teams to assess, plan, implement and evaluate change to ensure satisfaction. Considering this among the other aspects of running a successful organization it is essential to ensure that there is minimal resistance and familiarity to change. Demands of the consumers and staff as well as regulations are continuously changing. The responsibility of managers is to successfully lead these inevitable changes.
Change is a hard concept for most, but change in the hospital setting can be beneficial for both staff and patients. According to Mclean (2011), “Every change begins with an ending” (p.79). How people respond to change can make the process easy or hard depending on how the change is presented.
Healthcare managers must always be prepared to confront new challenges and changes to be able to have a competitive edge in the healthcare industry. As a new manager, I realize that my efficiency in handling things in the beginning won’t be excellent. I say this because like any job, it will take time to understand my role as well as all my new responsibilities. Personally, I am not that great in handling change, so I may resist the idea of change at first. Knowing that this can happen, I would have myself undergo transitional training beforehand to gain the knowledge and experience required.

In order to successfully and effectively implement change all of the employees should have a good understanding of how the changes will benefit the organization, their positions, and how it might impact their routines. To many employees the implementation of change is not always properly communicated, and the process of change on paper as it is being implemented can be threatening as well as confusing. Also, the people behind the scenes making the changes may not have taken specific details into consideration regarding effective changes that perhaps the employees
Early last winter, my principal presented the idea of starting an advisory period to the teachers after she saw advisory classes implemented on a tour of another school. She did not have a clear vision--she just wanted to have advisory on our campus. She presented the idea to the teachers and hosted a large meeting with representatives from partner agencies. The collective feedback shared expressed that we were all in favor of looking into advisory, but wanted to research best practices, establish a clear goal, and have time to work together to plan the classes before beginning. Representatives from campus partners, including mental health workers, grandparents, houseparents, and work readiness staff, were willing to work with school staff to build an advisory program which would include co-teachers from partner agencies in each classroom.
Healthcare organizations do not contribute to the society’s welfare and impact the society positively therefore the relationship with the stakeholders is poor. With a poor relationship, this causes conflict between the patient and the doctor. Enough financial resources should be allocated to prevent quality of care issues and improve the quality of care to the patients. The moneys allocated can be used to purchase equipments that are beneficial to the care of the patients. There are many issues when it comes to the allocation of resources and should be cost effective to ensure the health benefits of those in the community that are being treated. If the allocations of the resources are not done correctly it can affect the community. Human resources should allocate financial resources to eliminate the shortage of doctors and nurses which has affected the performance and

In the article entitled “Lewin’s Theory of Planned Change as a Strategic Resource”, the author, Shirey (2013) stated that Lewin’s approach to change involves looking at the forces that are needed to diminished or strengthened in order to bring about change within an organization. Burnes and Cooke (2012) added to Shirey’s point by noting that it is important to understand the psychological forces influencing peoples’ behavior at a given point in time before change can be made. Both authors main point of agreement is that there are a number of forces that drive, restrain or balance peoples’ behavior. These authors stated that organizational change is necessary to meet consumer needs. Also, as technology changes, such as the change from the paper medical record to the EMR, health care organizations have to adopt these changes to improve patient safety. In addition, change provides a learning opportunity for employees and allows
Lippitt’s Phases of Change is an extension of Lewin’s Three-Step Theory. The focus on Lippitt’s change theory is on the change agent rather than the change itself.
Improving the quality of health care system is the main goal of this organization. In this case study we will be talking about the strategic plans being made by the organization for the next decade to deal with the problems of resource management, network growth, patient satisfaction as well as nurse staffing.

To make this happen, there has to be a blending of these values such that both elements of the new organization are realized an effort that is only now just beginning to happen (. Many organizations seem to want to achieve this goal even if it means moving their operations into the field of chaos where innovation gets to mix with opportunity.
Centuries ago, a famous Greek philosopher, Heraclitus disputed conventional wisdom that things will always stay the same. Using the flow of the river as an example, Heraclitus describes the changes that were going on the time a fluid. He challenged the Greek leadership to acknowledge these changes or risk their global dominance. Two thousand years later, modern civilization is facing the same challenges. A rapid improvement in technology compounded with an increase in global competition has given rise to the emergence of change in most major industries. One industry were change has become inevitable is the health care industry. Today, there are increasing calls from management experts to a change the health care system to one that can
