The answer to this question lies largely in whether you are looking to initiate change in your organization to
get ahead of the curve, or waiting to see how you will be affected.

The last wave of change, still being implemented, involved:

• The adoption of Evidence Based Practices,
• The implementation of Electronic Health Records,
• Ushering in the Recovery Model,
• Changes in funding models is producing increased accountability and necessitating increased
  productivity,
• The establishment of models of integrated Behavioral and Primary care...

You may not see these as the last wave, but there is a whole new wave coming. If you are to get ahead of
these changes, you must catch up with the last wave and begin to plan for how you will react to the next
wave.

We all know that Change is constant and inevitable... either for better or worse. It can be imposed on us,
or self determined. Clearly we cannot affect the changes in the environment that will be imposed upon us,
but we can determine our strategy for dealing with those changes.

Change generates fear and resistance, even when it is voluntary. Therefore a planned, systematic
technology for supporting the people in your organization in initiating change (not merely adopting it) is
imperative if we are to reform health care.
