N2 - The threat of bioterrorism presents an opportunity for health care organizations to transform into more resilient, learning organizations.

We advocate a combination of guidelines derived from conventional and complexity science perspectives on organizational change, including the need for leadership commitment, self-organization, culture change, and interorganizational connections.
