Analysis of Change Management in Healthcare: Case Studies

This report examines change management within the healthcare sector, focusing on the implementation of new technologies and the challenges associated with it. The report highlights the importance of transitional, transformational, and developmental changes, particularly in enhancing the skills of healthcare workers. It also provides an overview of various change management models, including Lewin's, Kotter's, and McKinsey's, while acknowledging the limitations of these models in addressing all challenges. The report emphasizes the practical difficulties in applying theoretical models and suggests that a comprehensive approach is needed to effectively manage changes in healthcare. The importance of healthcare technology and its impact on the quality of care is also discussed. The report concludes by acknowledging the challenges in change management and the need to continually evaluate and adapt strategies.

The change management theory can be effective ways to deal with the new forms of challenges
that occurs within the industry of healthcare. The study has been able to highlight different types of
changes that can be implemented. I do believe that both transitional and transformational change can be
implemented depending upon the challenges in each of the cases. The developmental change is most
appreciable in the matter of incorporating new types of skills among the healthcare workers (Zablotsky
et al. 2015).
With the implementation of the healthcare technology, it is possible to improve the quality of care
that is being provided by the patients (Grönvall & Verdezoto, 2013). In spite of providing the description
of all types of change management model, which includes the Lewin’s Change management model,
Kotter’s 8 step change model and McKinsey 7S model, the essay has concluded about the fact none of the
models are not effective enough to deal with manage all forms of challenges. I do strongly agree upon the
fact that most of the change management models are only effective in providing some theoretical
guidelines. In the reality most of the models cannot completely deal with all forms of challenges that
occur due to the change in the healthcare management.
