Adventist Health System to Present at Denison Best Practices Forum
CIO Dr. Philip Smith to Discuss Leadership Strategies for Change Readiness
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Denison Consulting, the world's leader in organizational culture and leadership development assessment solutions, today announced that Dr. Philip Smith, Chief Medical Information Officer at Adventist Health System, will present Leadership Strategies for Change Readiness at the upcoming Denison Best Practices Forum 2011, January 26-28, 2011, Delray Beach, Florida. For more information about the Denison Best Practices Forum, please visit www.denisonconsulting.com.
"Most hospitals are doing it backwards," said Dr. Smith. "They aren't looking at any kind of organizational assessment along with the Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) system implementation and addressing the cultural aspects necessary to make it work. Those hospitals aren't having the same kinds of successful implementations that we are having. To get it right, hospitals must look at the way the organization works as part of their CPOE implementation."
"Dr. Smith joins a distinguished line of presenters at the Denison Forum next month. Adventist Health Systems has implemented exceptional programs for change readiness and we look forward to hearing about these strategies," said Dr. Daniel Denison, founding partner and CEO of Denison Consulting.
