Purpose of study: The culture of an organization shapes the attitudes and behaviors of employees and plays a key role in driving organizational outcomes. Yet, it is enormously challenging to manage or change. In this paper we review the recent literature on culture change interventions in health care organizations to identify the common themes underpinning these interventions.
Practical Implications: There is no “one size fits all” recipe for culture change. Rather, attention to context with key features including diagnosis and evaluation of culture, a combination of support from leaders and others in the organization, and strategies to embed the culture change are important for the change process to happen.
