Measures of Organizational Readiness
نویسنده
چکیده
Measurement instruments were reviewed that could be used to assess the readiness of organizations to implement evidence-based practices (EBPs). According to Lehman and colleagues (2002), organizational readiness for change represents the motivation and personality characteristics of program leaders and staff, the institutional resources, and the organizational climate that determine whether significant change is likely to occur in an organization. Therefore, assessing organizational readiness is critical in planning the implementation and dissemination of EBPs. These types of tools can assist in identifying organizations that are more readily able to undertake implementation, in measuring change during implementation, and in identifying areas where consultation, technical assistance, or other organizational/system support may be needed.
