ABSTRACT
Research and innovation is broadly recognized as a key factor to contain public expenditure and to enhance human resources. However, there are not models to support this key activity. In other words, there are not organizational models which can support physicians’ research activity. Obviously, considering the current age of austerity, this model becomes essential to be competitive on the research market. This paper proposes the case study of the General Hospital “SS. Antonio e Biagio e Cesare Arrigo” of Alessandria, and the decision of adopting a structure aimed at supporting and coordinating scientific research and innovation. An organizational model which might be adopted by other hospitals and/or medical centers.
