Abstract Profound ideas do not always end in profound results. Is the design wrong, or are major issues forgotten during the implementation? The evidence of a diabetics case in NL is used to show that the implementation of a sound protocol is more than barely medical. Integrating an organizational change perspective increases understanding and will improve results.
Keywords diabetes, change management
