Instructions
You are the administrator of a clinic with 50 employees.

Please complete the assignment as indicated in the instructions below.
Part 1
Construct a plan to build 1–2 effective teams to collaborate in selecting a new EHR system for the clinic. Identify the professional roles that should be represented on your team(s). You should be prepared for possible disagreements regarding priorities and processes, so your plan must include at least three team or consensus-building methods.
Part 2
Evaluate the concepts of change management theories, techniques, and leadership by assessing typical challenges seen with implementing a new EHR system across an organization. Your evaluation should demonstrate that you have considered how a transition to EHR would result in the need to plan for change management interventions.
