Discussion Post Throughout history, the U.S. government has created programs to drive innovation in healthcare information systems. These policies and programs challenge healthcare administrators to improve care quality, delivery, information transparency, and interoperability. Consider the following scenario as the basis for your discussion: You are a healthcare administrator in a small, rural hospital. Your hospital needs to comply with the 21st Century Cures ActLinks to an external site.. Many of your technologies and processes are outdated compared to larger facilities. You will lead the initiative that brings your facility up-to-date. Explain how you will select staff for leadership roles in this project. How will you handle resistance to change from staff, including hospital leaders and physicians? Should patients be aware of your initiative to comply with the Cures Act while in progress, or only after you have achieved project goals? Explain the rationale for your decision.
