Change Management

A systematic approach to change management is a critical aspect of the implementation plan. The purpose of Health Canada's change management strategy is to outline a phased plan that will allow Health Canada, industry, funders, healthcare professionals, caregivers, and patients to positively adopt changes resulting from the new framework.

Early involvement of decision makers, including those internal and external to Health Canada, is crucial to successful change management. This involvement creates opportunities for ongoing discussions with informed and engaged stakeholders and their input will contribute to the creation of a strong framework. As the framework is implemented in a staged approach, all decision makers will be kept apprised of the introduction of new regulations and processes, and will have opportunities to learn about them.
