title: Installing systems successfully in managed care organizations.
abstract: The installation of a new administrative system is a tremendous undertaking for any organization, affecting every area of the operation. Often, because of time and budget constraints as well as the perception that change is not immediately necessary, many organizations wait until there is no option but to change systems--then make the changes under short time frames. For a large, multisite organization, the issues are the same but the complexity increases tremendously.
