Introduction
Healthcare is a rapidly changing industry, and technology is a major driver of that change. In order to keep up with the latest advances, healthcare organizations need to be able to effectively manage change to their health information technology (HIT) and systems. This can be a complex and challenging task, but it is essential for ensuring that the organization can provide high-quality care to its patients.
Purpose and Benefits of a Technical Oversight and Change Management Committee
A technical oversight and change management committee can play a vital role in helping healthcare organizations to manage change effectively. The committee can provide a forum for stakeholders from across the organization to come together and discuss changes to HIT. This can help to ensure that all stakeholders are involved in the decision-making process and that the changes are aligned with the organization’s overall goals.
