Overcoming Resistance in Healthcare Change

Change is tough—whether it’s switching from coffee to green tea or convincing a toddler to eat broccoli. In healthcare, it’s even harder. Asking seasoned professionals to adopt new workflows, technologies, or care delivery models can feel like asking them to rewrite the rulebook mid-game. Resistance to change in healthcare isn’t just a quirk; it’s a deeply rooted challenge, often fueled by financial concerns, legal risks, and the disruption of familiar routines.

Overcoming this resistance requires more than brute force—it demands strategic education, engagement, and leadership. By addressing fears, building trust, and highlighting the tangible benefits of value-based care, healthcare organizations can turn resistance into results. After all, the ultimate goal isn’t just change for its own sake; it’s improving lives, one bold step at a time.

Curious about how to navigate these challenges? Check out my book, Value Management in Healthcare, for actionable strategies to transform resistance into progress.

3 Key Traits of a Rebel Leader

Leadership isn’t just about confidence or charisma—it’s about redefining the game. Rebel leadership takes it a step further, smashing the rules and rebuilding them in ways that make skeptics clutch their pearls and spreadsheets. Rebel leaders aren’t content with the status quo; they’re the ones who spark transformation, unsettle norms, and dare to imagine a better world.

To do that, they lean on three essential traits: visionary thinking, courage, and resilience. Visionary thinking is their north star, inspiring bold ideas and galvanizing others to rally behind a shared dream. Courage is their engine, driving them to challenge conventions, take risks, and face detractors with a steady gaze (and maybe a snack in hand). Resilience, though, is their superpower, turning setbacks into comebacks and critics into motivational fuel.

Rebel leaders don’t just lead—they transform, inspire, and persist. The world doesn’t need more yes-men. It needs rebels ready to burn down the box and rebuild it from scratch—flaming torch optional.

Navigating the Challenges of Value Management in Healthcare

Value management in healthcare holds transformative potential, promising better quality, efficiency, and patient satisfaction. But implementing it? That’s like trying to balance on a three-legged stool while juggling. Healthcare organizations face significant challenges in three main areas: cultural resistance, financial constraints, and the complexity of measuring value.

Cultural resistance is the elephant in the room, with staff clinging to old workflows like security blankets. Financial constraints don’t make it any easier—upfront investments and a lack of sustainable funding can feel like trying to fill a leaky bucket. And then there’s the complexity of defining and measuring “value,” which is about as straightforward as deciphering a cryptic treasure map.

The good news? These hurdles aren’t insurmountable. With clear communication, creative financing, and smart metrics, organizations can pave the way for value management that truly delivers.
