This valuable book is based on the work of a team ofhealth services researchers headed up by Thomas Rundall, directorof the Center for Health Management Studies at the University ofCalifornia, Berkeley.

The authors present a framework for understanding organizationalchange and define the principles that guide change facilitatorsthrough the five stages of change--readiness to change, awarenessof the need to change, identification and selection of changes,implementation, and institutionalization of changes. The standardsderived from the change experiences of these hospitals provideimportant best practice guidelines.
