250 Directors Attended the Kick-Off

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.
