Summary:In healthcare, either health systems need to deliver innovation to patients or companies like Amazon, JP Morgan, CVS, or Apple will. Representatives from the different functional areas required to implement change need to be included in the upfront decision-making process well in advance of delivering changes to the patient care settings. Schaffer points to three ideas to help change successfully happen: 1/ "Project teams that include all of the functions required to implement specific change need to be organized and led by people who are certified in professional project management. 2/ "There needs to be a project plan with timelines and accountability that the project team members agree to. 3/ "There must be guiding principles of what the team is trying to accomplish along with a detailed roadmap (called a business plan when I started my career) of how to get there."
