Identifying sources of resistance to change in healthcare

Motivations and Obstacles for Adverse Drug Reactions Reporting among Healthcare Professionals from the Perspective of Lewin?s Force Field Analysis Theory: Analytic Approach

“…This leads us to raise an important question: Do healthcare professionals suffer from the problem of resistance to change and what are the possible strategies that could be adapted to mitigate this problem? If this hypothesis is true, application of models which aim at combating resistance to change, such as "Lewin's Force Field Analysis" [14,15], may be warranted.…”

The Physical Therapist as a Musculoskeletal Specialist in the Emergency Department

“…Because functioning within the ED involves a comprehension of the associated culture and often requires a paradigm shift away from traditional treatment philosophies, some individuals may have difficulty making this transition. 44 Thus, perhaps the ideal candidate for ED practice is one who has accumulated at least a few solid years of experience but has maintained the flexibility to adapt to practice within this unique environment.…”

Priority setting for technology adoption at a hospital level: Relevant issues from the literature

“…Landaeta et al [24] applied the previous contribution by Pardo del Val and Martinez [22] to investigate a technology driven change initiative in a US hospital. They undertaked a phenomenology approach.…”

“…In this view, the budget committee should understand which is the Organisational Sustainability of adopting the new technology and how to assure the coherence between the technology and the (organisational) structure [24,29]. Changes to the workflow, the scope of responsibilities and skills must be managed to avoid failure.…”

“…Changes to the workflow, the scope of responsibilities and skills must be managed to avoid failure. The literature argues that the Organisational Sustainability can be realised by discussing three issues: (i) the technology coherence to strategic goals [13,20,[22][23][24][26][27][28]; (ii) the technology acceptance among physicians [22][23][24][25]; (iii) uncertainty in clinical practice [13,16,24,29]. The first two issues remark that the adoption of technology at a hospital level should balance the top-down and the bottom-up approaches to budgeting in order to avoid that the two perspectives are in conflict.…”
