Outside the organisation
Outside the organisation
Several external factors can influence change implementation. You can define outside in any way you wish. For example, outside your organisation, your region, your unit or program.
Here are some examples:
External policies and incentives
This includes external policies, regulations, and incentives that may impact the implementation of a change initiative. For example, government policies related to healthcare reimbursement or quality metrics may impact the adoption of a new intervention.
Unmet needs
This includes the characteristics and needs of patients who are affected by the change initiative. For example, the availability of community resources or the prevalence of certain health conditions may impact the adoption of a new intervention.
External partnerships and collaboration
Partnerships and collaborations with external organisations, such as academic institutions, community organisations, or other healthcare providers. These partnerships may impact the resources, expertise, or support available for change.
Culture
The broader economic and social conditions that may impact the implementation of the change initiative. For example, economic recessions or changes in social norms may influence the adoption of a new intervention.
Political context
The political context in which the change initiative is being implemented. For example, changes in government leadership or public opinion
Available technology
This includes the availability and accessibility of technology and other resources that can support the implementation of the change project.
It is important to consider these external factors when planning and implementing a change project or implementation. By understanding the external environment, organisations can better anticipate and respond to external factors that may impact the success of their initiatives.
