Discussion Question

This Discussion highlights the leader's role in facilitating change. You are asked to focus on a change management model that has proven successful in a non-health care sector. As you saw in Week 2, many best practices in technology have developed outside of health care. The focus of this Discussion is on the innovative application of best practices in stakeholder adoption from other industries in health care settings.

To prepare:

• Reflect on positive consumer experiences that you have had related to using information technologies to access products or services.

• How did the stakeholders in that setting use HIT platforms to improve your customer experience? Apply this thinking to this week's

Discussion.

Note: This Discussion will be graded using this rubric: Discussion Rubric (Word document)
