Introduction
    Change is an inevitable part of any organization, and the healthcare industry is no exception. In this paper, I will explore a professional change initiative that I personally experienced in a medical organization. The change initiative that I will be discussing is the implementation of a new electronic medical record (EMR) system. The implementation of an EMR system can be a complex process that involves many different stakeholders including patients, physicians, nurses, administrators and IT staff (Jedwab et al., 2021). The EMR system is a computer-based system that allows for the electronic storage and retrieval of patient medical records. It is designed to improve the quality of care, increase efficiency, and reduce e
ors.
    The major goal of this essay is to offer a thorough examination and debate of the change initiative from several angles. I'll look at the change initiative from both the leader's and the follower's perspectives, and I'll assess the process's accomplishments and failures. I'll also go through the ideas and theories that helped to make the change process easier, assess how the change affected the company, and talk about how to make the change effort last. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that, despite the difficulty of implementing an EMR system in a medical setting, it is possible to significantly enhance patient outcomes, care delivery, and organizational performance via careful planning, leadership, and communication.
Change Initiative
    The adoption of a new EMR system in a hospital context is the change project that I will be talking about. It was obvious that the paper-based method the company had been using for a long time was no longer functional or efficient in serving the needs of the business. A variety of considerations, including an increase in patient traffic, the desire to improve patient safety, and the necessity to comply with regulatory standards, contributed to the decision to deploy the new EMR system. The company acknowledged that the new EMR system would help them enhance patient care, boost productivity, and lessen mistakes.
    It was anticipated that the implementation process would take many months and need extensive planning, budgeting, and training. Before implementing the system across the board, the company also conducted a pilot testing phase. This enabled them to find any problems or wo
ies before the system was completely implemented and to fix them. In order to oversee the implementation process, the company also formed a project team with members from several departments, including IT, clinical, and administrative workers. The project team was in charge of organizing the implementation procedure, supplying staff with training and assistance, and making sure the new EMR system satiated the requirements of the company.
    The company also established a steering group made up of important departmental stakeholders to supervise the implementation process and offer direction and input. To make sure the new EMR system fulfilled their requirements and expectations, the company also participated in significant employee, patient, and stakeholder communication and consultation. In order to keep the organization's board of directors informed of the implementation process' progress and any potential problems, the organization also supplied frequent updates and progress reports.
The Leader's Perspective
    The leader considered the adoption of a new EMR system to be a crucial step in raising the standard of care and the efficiency of the entire business. The leader saw that a new system was required to keep up with the evolving needs of the healthcare business and that the paper-based approach was no longer sufficient. The leader was also aware of how difficult and difficult challenges would be to overcome during the implementation phase. The project manager recognized the value of having a transparent project plan and budget as well as the significance of including all stakeholders throughout the process.
    The project leader established a precise project plan and budget and made sure that all stakeholders were included and kept up to date throughout the process in order to guarantee a successful execution. The organization's board of directors received frequent updates and progress reports from the leader. In order to oversee the project's implementation and guarantee that it was finished on schedule and on budget, the leader also hired a project manager. Additionally, the leader understood the value of employee involvement and regularly updated staff members on the situation.
    The leader also understood the significance of change management and gave staff members training and support to ease their transition to the new system. The leader also established a helpdesk so that staff members could ask questions and handle any problems or wo
ies that could come up throughout the implementation process. Along with providing incentives like bonuses for hitting system usage goals, the leader encouraged staff to adopt the new system. Overall, the leader's strategy was proactive, collaborative, and adaptable, which contributed to the EMR system's successful adoption.
The Follower's Perspective
