Rogers' adoption model in the implementation of change.
In this era of marketplace competition and cost containment, the most efficient methods of implementing change must be utilized. Rogers' adoption of innovation theory (1972; 1983) provides a framework to identify human responses to innovation/change. The model's six categories exemplify varying degrees of acceptance or rejection behaviors. In the current paper employee responses to the implementation of a new computer system in a larger hospital in the upper midwest with implications for clinical nurse specialists will be discussed.
