Abstract:
Staff development educators are challenged to bring value to the adoption of new organizational management tools to improve the health care of patients. One strategy used to pursue health care excellence is the adoption of the ISO 9000 standards. However, implementation of this quality management system requires acceptance at all levels of the healthcare organization. This article explores the concept of learning readiness and uses an example of a training design strategy called an "Advanced Organizer." The authors describe its use as a development readiness strategy, outline the methodology for development and implementation, and provide steps for successful implementation. The implications for staff development educators are reviewed for the concept of learning readiness and broad-scale performance improvement initiatives.
