This document discusses organizational change at Ventre Medical as it relates to adopting new electronic health record technology. It outlines some of the challenges of implementing change, such as employee resistance, and recommends a bottom-up approach where all employees are educated and involved in the change process. Adopting new technology is viewed as a multi-step process according to diffusion of innovation theory. Ensuring the technology is compatible, not too complex, and can be tested prior to adoption can facilitate its uptake. Overall, change is seen as important for organizations to achieve their goals, but requires training employees and gaining their participation.

Introduction
When any organization and company is undergoing any
transformation, there are so many aspects that have to be
changed from how they were doing things so that the change
can be useful. Any change in an n organization can happen due
to shifting from the strategies that the company was using as it
was using initially. In case any organization to have changed,
people and other workers must be aware that a change is
happening so that they can be ready to embrace it because, in
man organizations, many employees resist change. After all,
they see change as something which will come and displace
them, and others see that as a waste of time and resources as
they are going to learn more so that they can be in a position to

2. implement change in a very effective way, (Dictionary, 2019). I
will focus on organizational change that has been implemented
by Ventre medical which specializes in mental health.
Adoption of New Technology Systems
In any health facility there are health records that keeps how
those people that have mental issues are progressing. This is a
systematized collection of all health information and in a digital
form, (Adams, Ponte, & Somerville, 2016, p. 127). Health and
record system provides records and these records are important
to the health care facility and this is a benefit which cannot be
underestimated. When health records have been recorded well
it helps the hospital to store data in a very accurate way and this
is important in making sure that it can be easy to follow how the
patient is progressing well. When there are electronic health
records on Venter Care it will be very easy to access the data on
the internet because one has just to search for whatever that he
wanted to obtain from the record. This is a better way than
having to search it manually incase records have been placed on
the files. It takes so much of the time when health care
practitioner is looking for that file. The other important aspect
of having electronic health records for mental ill people is
because here will be no struggling when one is trying to read
because in most instances some people have very different
handwritings which makes some not to read even the right thing
and this in most cases it has brought a lot of issues when they
are trying to assess the progress of the patient. This in most
cases, makes the patient not to be given attention and
medication which they were supposed to get as a result of this.
Therefore electronic health records curbs this issue, (Lee &
Kelly, 2011).
Adoption of advanced electronic health records according to
Rogers (2003) does not happen only once but it is a process
whereby Ventre medical Centre should be ready to follow. With
this people will be more willing to have the change done in the
health facility. The uptake of adoption of new technology in the

3. Ventre medicine will be influenced by five factors on whether
they will be in a position to adopt it or they will not. This will
be dealing with determination of the attitudes which the nurses
will be having towards adoption of that new technology.
Explanation of how adoption of new technology will help
improve on the current situation which health sector is already
in will make them to adopt the change, (Lee, et al, 2017).
This will be through education on how improved technology
will be working, the coordination and any other important
aspect that they will be willing to know in regard to new
technology. The other thing about advanced health record
system for keeping mental patient record that they are supposed
to know is how the process will be compatible with what the
health sector is doing currently such that there will be no much
changes that will be required to be done so that adoption of the
technology will be possible. When technology will be more
compatible to use just like how they were doing things in most
cases they are likely to embrace the change. Complexity of the
technology and triability are other characteristics that they will
be keen to understand. Complexity means how hard and
technical is its going to be when they will start up taking of the
technology. Triability means prior to adopting the technology s
to know whether they will be in a position to try it’s and know
basically how it works before they will start adopting and using
it as a technological advancement in the facility, (Burnes, 2018)
.
Steps for obtaining organizational change and challenges that
are likely to be faced
However in case there is any technology that the medical Centre
wants to improve in the health records it may become a
challenge when they will not engage all those who are involved
from the onset of the project. This is because nurses should be
the change agent in ventre medical and it is important that they
are supposed to have assessment of the extent of change so that
they can be sure what will be their roles in making sure that all
other practitioners have been convinced to undertake the

4. change. The reason as to why implementation of any change in
health sector in most of the time becomes a problem is because
those who are at the top in most cases they just want to use top
down approach without educating those who are at grass root
levels and this is posting a lot of challenges in the organization.
To curb the above problem it is important that there should be
education and awareness creation so that they will not resist
that change. With the education they will be in a position to
know what exactly is supposed to be done and when they will
know that they will see the importance of engaging in the
change and they will be carrying it out even without the consent
of those at a higher management level. What they just need is
education and basics about what is going to happen and at the
same time being in a position to know why they are
implementing change in the organization. This is through
getting all the advantages that may accrue when change will be
implemented in Ventre medical care, (Kaminski, 2019).
The other challenge that the organization ids likely to face a
challenge when they want to adopt a new technology when they
want to improve electronic health records is resistance this is
because in most cases, these people have not been coached or
mentored on how the change will be running. When there will
be resistance the health care people will be told that they are
supposed to do this, then when one goes and assesses what was
being done, it is met that what is being done is a very total
different thing from what was being expected. Mentoring and
coaching them can help them to soften their hearts so that they
can see an advantage that may come from implementing that
change. They will see the opportunity that may present them in
order to achieve great results in the organization. Much
information should be provided as possible and also there
should be benchmarking on other organizations and facilities
which have already adopted that technology. With they will see
the practicality of it and then some will see that it is not a
technology that will make them lose their jobs because this is
one of the reasons as to why many people usually resist any

5. change that is being implemented in the organiza tion. When
they will see a place where the technology has worked they will
as well be motivated to work on it so that it can work just as it
has worked in the other facility and in the long run it will be
important in making sure that the work will be easier than it
was when they were using manual health records and in most
cases those patient with mental health were not being taken care
of in a meaningful way because tracing of the progress of the
patient was somehow hard when they were using physical
means, (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018).
Recommendations for organizational change
Before any company starts implementing organizational change
for instance adoption of new technology, it is important that all
those who are involved should be aware of the technol ogy that
the company is willing to undertake. This will make them to
own the project and when it will reach the time for
implementing of the change it will be very easy for the
management tyo work with those key medical practitioners who
will be on the ground to make sure that technology is
implemented and it is working to achieve the purpose as to why
it was implemented. Creation of awareness, education and fully
participation of everyone will make implementation of new
technology in Ventre Medical care to be very easy, (Adams, et
al, 2016).
Conclusion
Change, especially in today's world, is a compassionate part of
the organization to ensure that change has been implemented.
This is because even though there will be a lot of training and
use of resources but this, in the long run, will be helpful in
making sure that the company has achieved its goals. Change is
inevitable. It is supposed to be a bottom-up approach whereby
all the workers are supposed to be aware of what is happening
so that they can embrace the change and make sure that they are
doing anything to make sure that change has been implemented.
