Successful Change Agent Network Kick-Off
This week saw the successful kick-off of a Change Agent Network to support the Administrative Information Management System.
The first week of May 2019 a kick-off was held for senior leadership, to inform them of the changes that are coming with the new administrative information management system. Approximately 250 Executive Directors and Directors participated in sessions to gain insight into the new system and their roles in building the change agent network.
What is a change agent network? The network includes employees across the health system who will participate by developing an informational support network
for other staff on the road to transitioning to the new business solution.
Change Leaders are to nominate candidates to fulfill the various roles required to ensure the success of the change network. The objective will be to support
a provincial system designed to provide better services and benefits in the areas of Human Resources, Finance and Supply Chain, and the ongoing sustainability
of the system.
