Transformative Leadership • Change leadership is the strategic, systematic approach that supports

people and their organizations in the successful transition and adoption of electronic health solutions.

• The outcomes of ‘change leadership’ results in adoption and the full realization of benefits and clinical transformation.

A Focused Approach to change management that incorporates these six elements noted in the CM Framework helps to ensure alignment of activities, solution adoption and realization of benefits.

E-Integrated Care Plans…

…allows all appropriate/authorized health care providers from across the continuum of care and the patient, authorized family/significant other to have access and to contribute to an integrated plan of care that may include health conditions, goals, interventions and target dates for evaluation

e-ICPs will help bridge the current information gap

Improved interprofessional collaboration, transitions would be optimized and care planning would be based on patients’/family’s goals. Equal partners. Improved self care management.

Safer, more sustainable healthcare system. There will be better health system use.
