Since the health care environment is constantly changing and transforming, the ability to manage and adapt to change is essential in health care organizations. Change, whether prompted internally or externally or perceived positively or negatively, can be unsettling, making it crucial that health care administrators understand the change process. From implementation planning to effectively communicating with employees and managing conflicts, administrators must be prepared to manage change within their organizations. For this Assignment, you examine an organization undergoing change and develop a change management proposal.

• Review this week's Learning Resources.

• Given the parameters of the change, summarize the resistance or conflict you might expect and why.

• Apply systems thinking to address the impact of the change throughout the organization.
• Recommend strategies and innovations that could be implemented to effect the organizational change and provide rationale for the recommendations.
