Abstract
On the example of the current health-care reform in Ukraine, the impact of process changes on the level of individual providers of care is analyzed. The empirical study focuses on the question of how much effective Business Process Management (BPM) and openness to change can help health-care providers like family doctors to keep their performance during a structural transformation. The theoretical framework of the study is based on an innovative human-centric approach to BPM. The results show that openness to change reduces the risk of burnout and reduces cooperation issues with other doctors and hospital departments. At the same time, burnout and cooperation issues increase the number of errors and the time span of diagnosing patients significantly.
