Change Management Principles for Public Health Modernization
In this live presentation on Tuesday, October 24, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. CT, Dr. Dawn Emerick joins Region 10 from the Clackamas County’s Health, Housing and Human Services’ Public Health Division. Emerick will tell the end-to-end story of a complete realignment- from the first organizational readiness assessment to monitoring the outcomes- and everything in between. She will address how to tackle perennial challenges like recruitment and retention, working with unions, messaging the department’s value, and aligning a restructure with accreditation and other strategic planning efforts. She will also review key organizational theories and change communication tactics that help advance this work.
