Plan for success
The planning may begin before you’re brought in. The technical specifications and timing are set. Now your role is to help assess readiness, identify trial participants, communicate changes to the organization, collect initial feedback, and surface concerns.
Most of all, your role is to begin to prepare staff and set expectations for the journey.
How to measure clinician readiness
Before implementation begins, it's helpful to understand how prepared clinicians are for change.
Key readiness indicators
