Adoption of New Technology Systems

    For this assignment, you assume the role of a nurse facilitator in a small hospital in upstate NY. You have been part of a team preparing for the implementation of new electronic health records system. You are now tasked w/ preparing the nurses for this new system. There has been resistance expressed by the nurses and you must respond to their concerns. You have called a meeting w/ the nurses 1 week prior to the training on the new EHR system. How would you use the five qualities (Relative advantage, Compatibility w/ values and practices, Simplicity, Trialability, and Observable results) outlined by Rogers (2003) to assist in preparing the nurses for the upcoming implementation. Using Rogers’ theory as a foundation, outline how you would approach the meeting. Be SPECIFIC as to the types of information or activities you could provide. How would you respond to resistance? Analyze the role of nurses as change agents in facilitating the adoption of new technology.
