Abstract
The article is based on literature review and it
discusses the management of system innovations in public
health care. System innovation is defined as a new model
of operations in the context of health care system.
Management of system innovations begins with the
identification and interpretation of a need, threat or a
possibility and leads to trying something new. The
article argues that there are two kinds of processes
concerned with the management of system innovations:
namely top-down processes and bottom-up processes. First,
the utilization and spreading of system innovations can
be managed from outside the service-provision
organizations. Second, the development and utilization of
system innovations requires taking leadership inside the
health care system and service-provision organizations
