Change management studies have emphasized the significance of an organization's readiness for change and transformation and have recommended strategies to affect change. Organizational readiness for change is a multi-faceted, multi-level, and multi-dimensional activity; its most important aspect is organizational members' willingness to accept and implement change because ignoring the human factors may result in resistance and failure. Through its National Transformation Program 2020, the Saudi Arabian government is attempting to effect radical changes in the structure and function of its health-care system to achieve quality care and effective service delivery. The aim of the present review is to discuss the Saudi health-care system's readiness to change that Saudi Arabia intends to implement by 2020, based on extensive review of different reports, documents, and empirical studies in the field of organizational readiness for change. The study concludes that if organizational readiness for change is high, resources are available, and situational factors are aligned, members of organizations will take the initiative to change, exert optimal effort, demonstrate greater determination, and engage in more cooperative behavior that may lead to efficient and effective implementation of the Saudi health-care transformational plan with fewer complications and less resistance.
变革管理研究强调了组织对变革和转型的准备情况的重要性，并推荐了影响变革的策略。组织对变革的准备是一项多方面、多层次和多维度的活动；其最重要的方面是组织成员接受和实施变革的意愿，因为忽视人为因素可能导致抵制和失败。沙特阿拉伯政府通过其《2020年国家转型计划》，试图对其医疗保健系统的结构和功能进行根本性变革，以实现优质护理和有效的服务提供。本综述的目的是在广泛审查组织变革准备领域的不同报告、文件和实证研究的基础上，讨论沙特阿拉伯计划在2020年实施的沙特医疗保健系统的变革准备情况。该研究得出结论，如果组织对变革的准备程度很高、资源可用且情境因素一致，组织成员将主动进行变革，付出最佳努力，表现出更大的决心，并采取更多合作行为，这可能会以更少的并发症和更少的阻力高效且有效地实施沙特医疗保健转型计划。
