Editor's Notes
Probably the least technical presentation you have ever heard at UGM, but potentially one of the most important you will ever hear at UGM. People think that your project is a computer project with a little leadership sprinkled in, when in reality, it is a leadership project that just happens to be about computers. This is probably the least technical, but potentially the most important presentation you will hear at this conference. You may think that implementing an inpatient electronic medical record is a “computer project with a little leadership sprinkled in”, when in reality, it is a “leadership project that just happens to be about computers”. Physicians have a notorious reputation for resisting change, and this may very well be the largest change they will experience in their careers. It is essential that the “Physician Champion” of this change develop and use strong leadership skills in order for this transition to be a success.
