The passage of new legislation in a certain healthcare system can spark significant change processes in healthcare organizations, where local interpretations, sense making and inherent challenges affect what specific change practices are implemented. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), signed by President Barrack Obama on March 23, 2010, is the most significant piece of legislation in the history of American healthcare.
