“Change is the only constant in life” —Heraclitus of Ephesus

In the world of healthcare, change is the only real constant. We don’t ask for it or volunteer to be impacted by it; it just happens.

The key to weathering change as a leader is to have the knowledge and skills to manage throughout the process, prepare our teams for it, understand when change is different than ongoing innovation, and recognize the role we play in the success or failure that change ultimately brings.

PDPM: A Major Change in the Business of Healthcare
