title: Building the team during consolidation.
abstract: It has been said that change is the only constant, and that certainly holds true for health care settings in the 1990s. Consolidation of two hospitals is one such change. To be successful, the organization and its managers must deal with these changes in a proactive, positive, opportunity-seeking way. Fostering positive relationships with others in the work setting is as important as the fine tuning of clinical skills.
