An assessment of readiness for change can set the stage for the implementation by providing information regarding staff members' beliefs and attitudes prior to an organizational change. We conducted a cross-sectional survey to assess readiness for change (N = 113 employees) in a hospital on the verge of implementing an interprofessional, co-managed orthogeriatric unit. Staff members from three departments with roles related to orthogeriatric patients were invited to answer a web-based questionnaire. Our survey demonstrates that health care professionals are confident that interprofessional collaboration will be promoted by the implementation of orthogeriatric care. We found they were knowledgeable about the proposed orthogeriatric collaboration model and ready to engage in its implementation. Their concerns pertained to various practical aspects; those voiced by the nursing staff related to work strain and the work-related interests of their professional group whereas the physicians' reservations concentrated on the planning of the change. The exploration of readiness for organizational change among health care professionals offers managers an understanding of their motivations and concerns and provides a useful tool for the planning and implementation of a new interprofessional collaboration model.
对变革准备情况的评估可以通过在组织变革之前提供有关工作人员信念和态度的信息，为变革的实施奠定基础。我们进行了一项横断面调查，以评估一家即将实施跨专业、共同管理的老年骨科单元的医院中员工的变革准备情况（N = 113名员工）。邀请了来自与老年骨科患者相关岗位的三个部门的工作人员回答一份基于网络的问卷。我们的调查表明，医疗保健专业人员相信实施老年骨科护理将促进跨专业协作。我们发现他们对提议的老年骨科协作模式有一定了解，并准备好参与其实施。他们的担忧涉及各个实际方面；护理人员表达的担忧与工作压力及其专业群体的工作相关利益有关，而医生的保留意见则集中在变革的规划上。对医疗保健专业人员的组织变革准备情况进行探索，能让管理者了解他们的动机和担忧，并为规划和实施新的跨专业协作模式提供有用工具。
