That plan should be based on the principles that Rogers (2003) laid out.
Rogers (2003) starts with that the point above – that the proponents of the new technology must be able to demonstrate that it is better than the existing way of doing things. An interesting dynamic to this is that this benefit might be obvious to management (i.e. it makes the business more profitable) but that won\'t matter to the nurses – they need the benefit conveyed to them in their context (i.e. how it benefits them specifically).
The next step that Rogers has identified is that it needs to be compatible. This should have been assured during the vetting stage as discussed in prior papers; for the implementation aspect it is only important that the compatibility point is explained to the nurses so that they understand how the new technology is aligned with the values and missions of the organization. In other words, if what the new technology does is poorly aligned with the values and mission of the organization, then there is a much lower likelihood than the nurses will drop their resistance.
The next step as identified by Rogers is simplicity. At the end of the day, the technology has to be usable by the people who are supposed to use it. Makes sense, right? This is why there needs to be a nurse involved during the technology selection process – if there is not then it is conceivable that the technology chosen will…
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Electronic patient information has witnessed a gradual rise in usage. Several factors need to be considered before establishing an electronic patient information system in a medical centre. Due to the fact that nurses take the lead in number as regards the professional use of this novel technology, there needs to be a well-defined strategy which will help train and educate nurses on the establishment and use of electronic
, 2005). The framework centers strengthening the compatibility with existing values and practices to also ensure a high level of simplicity and observable results, two other factors crucial to creating an effective framework (Rogers, 2003). All of these elements must also be unified with a simplistic model to make sure the nurses can see the value of the system and their ability to manage it as a resource, not be
The Porter Model forces companies to align all available resources in terms of pricing strategies, product strategies, and their own R&D strategies to counter competitors, leading to a more effective marketing strategy than if just a single, isolated tactic was used. The bottom line from Porter's standpoint is that technology alone is not as major of a competitive threat by itself; it does however become a major threat when
Taken in isolation, some of the new, minimally-invasive procedures are less expensive by far, when analyzed on a procedure-by-procedure basis, than previous significant surgical interventions, as demonstrated below: Procedure Cost Estimated duration of 'cure' CABG 5-7 years PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention 3-5 years Based on the above analysis, it would appear to be clear that a PCI is more cost-effective than CABG procedures. This may not be true when all costs are considered, however. The logic of
employees resist integrating new technologies into workplace duties, and what can be done to prevent employee resistance to technology changes? You know, I'm all for progress. It's change I object to." - Mark Twain The Key Question to be addressed: The salient topic of this paper approaches the question of why there is a predictable and often across-the-board degree of resistance from employees when it comes to approaching - and adapting
If the selling company has a good reputation, and the software happens to have a bug or two, our company would at least be assured of an avenue for recompense. One factor that should also be considered is whether our competitors are using the same type of technology to their benefit, and even more importantly to our detriment. It should not be a purchase just to 'keep up with the Joneses"
