With the transformation project of Gaziantep Private Sani Konukoğlu Hospital into SANKO University Hospital, it is aimed to determine all the activities necessary for the hospital to undergo a change process in accordance with the organizational structure of the institution by associating the existing organizational structure and processes of the hospital with generally accepted national and international standards.

As a result of the joint work of TÜSSİDE Health Economics and Management (HEM) and Sustainable Corporate Governance (SCM) teams, consultancy services were provided to SANKO institution on change management. Within the scope of the project, a current situation analysis was conducted for the demand to carry out education and research activities in addition to the existing health services offered in Gaziantep Private Sani Konukoğlu Hospital, which was opened in 1993. Within the scope of the analysis, a change management questionnaire was designed and applied to all hospital employees. As a second step, the Common Mind Platform® (OAP®) workshop was held, support and obstacle activities that would affect the change were identified in the OAP® workshop, and detailed suggestions were developed for these activities. In the third step of the project, medical and administrative areas that will be directly affected in the hospital's transformation journey to a university hospital were identified and a field analysis study was carried out in these areas. According to the results of all these studies, hospital staff were provided with change management training on situations that require priority in terms of the change process, and at the end of the project, a comprehensive final report including all activities was submitted to the university rectorate.

As TÜSSİDE SEY unit, we provide scientific support to hospitals or hospital groups, which have adopted the principle of eliminating the lack of human resources in health services and training qualified health professionals, in their transformation processes into hospitals that provide education and research as well as providing quality health services. In this transformation process, institutions should determine in advance how their internal processes will change as a training and research hospital, what additional resources will be required for this change, how national and international standards are processed, how employees may be affected by this change, and receive consultancy support in this regard will ensure that the change process will take place much more positively and quickly.
