Resistance to change is by far the most costly and commonly cited reason for all systems within a hospital to not attain their fullest potential. The lack of adoption for patient-centric management systems can be attributed to resistance to change and fear of what the new systems will do to re-align or change job priorities and status (Tan, Payton, 2010). Health Information Management Systems (HIMS) are often rejected due to these factors and those the systems are designed to support and streamline the work of often minimize their use and make them over time, less valuable from a data use and analysis standpoint. There are many allegories between patient-centric management systems and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems throughout manufacturing and services companies. CRM systems typically experience a 70% failure rate due to resistance to change (Foss, Stone, Ekinci, 2008). When a new CRM system is deployed it is common for the sales, marketing and even executive management teams to openly question tis value and see it as more of an intrusion than a tool for getting more work done (Foss, Stone, Ekinci, 2008). In many respects, nurses, physicians and the staffs of clinics are also exhibiting the same rejection of new systems by not allowing them to change their jobs, even if there is the potential to increase their performance as a result (Tan, Payton, 2010). As any new change to how information is used in a healthcare organization will also bring a change in status, every person who relies on the information included is clearly cautious (Hickman, Smaltz, 2008). This is why change management programs and initiatives are critically important in any new HIMS and patient management system being implemented in a healthcare facility. Showing how the system will save time and actually make the workers more effective is the key to making a change management program highly effective.

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) is the world's leading producer of healthcare, pharmaceutical and medical devices with annual revenues for their latest fiscal year of $61.5B and Net Income of $13.3B, operating in 57 nations and selling into over 175 countries (Johnson & Johnson Investor Relations, 2012). While the company operates across a very broad value chain, it has successfully integrated many of the core supplier management, procurement, strategic capacity planning and constraint-based planning into a centralized strategy (Atherton, Kleiner, 1998). Integrating these elements together has given Johnson & Johnson greater agility and accuracy in managing aberrations in quality and supplier performance, stabilizing both end-product quality and manufacturing performance at the same time (Slobodow, Abdullah, Babuschak, 2008). From the most basic aspects of job design to the development of its strategic sourcing and strategic capacity planning, Johnson & Johnson concentrates on creating a platform to ensure their Total Quality Management (TQM) and House of Quality ongoing efforts stay synchronized corporate-wide (Johnson, 1993). This makes constraint-based planning and manufacturing execution systems (MES) more effective, while also minimizing the level of demand and process/product variability, leading to accelerated new product development cycles and more profitable medical products (Atherton, Kleiner, 1998). What Johnson & Johnson has been able to do is unify their entire value chain to deal with these aspects of constraint-based planning. As the company is very metrics- and quantitatively-driven, production managers and company executives know the relative level of success or failure for each of these areas relatively quickly based on the use of real-time analytics and dashboards that include Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) (Atherton, Kleiner, 1998). This mindset around measuring and quantifying performance is predicated on the company's approach to delivering business value by ensuring the entire value chain is transparent from a strategic capacity planning and risk management perspective (Williams, 2004). Johnson & Johnson has learned over decades of work on their constraint-based planning systems that creating a high level of supply chain, sourcing, route assurance, non-conformance and traceability visibility throughout their value chain can save millions of dollar a year and thousands of cumulative hours (Atherton, Kleiner, 1998). The next section discusses how the company uses capacity and constraint-based planning to better manager their value chain.
