The role of the human resources department in hospital reengineering.
The ¿people part¿ of reengineering is the most difficult to implement or even predict. In this context, active involvement by the Human Resources (HR) Department is a necessity, not an option, for the success of reengineering initiatives. Reengineering requires a changed environment and methods that HR must facilitate; creates extraordinary demands for leadership and communication, which HR is uniquely qualified to support; and represents an extraordinary opportunity for HR to reinvent its own processes and create a sustained competitive advantage for the organization. Exploiting these opportunities will require HR to proactively engage the organization.
