Abstract:
The levels of resistance to a new informatics system can vary widely both between and among specific groups. The relevance to today's behavioral medicine area is obvious. The aim of effective change management techniques is not to eliminate all resistance. This is typically impossible when a group of any size is involved. The aims are (1) to keep initial general resistance at reasonable levels, (2) to pre-vent that initial resistance from growing to serious levels, and (3) to identify and deal with any pockets of serious resistance that do occur despite the previous efforts. His article outlines areas of resistance to behavioral informatics and offers suggestions for overcoming the resistance.
