[Governing innovations in health care].
Goal of this paper is to address the problem of governing innovations in health care, underscoring how this issue, by its very nature, implies not only the need for better methodological approaches and instruments for technology assessment, but also, and more importantly, a profound reshaping of roles and responsibilities within the context of health care organisations. From this perspectives, the issue of innovation in health care overlaps the concept of clinical governance, indeed representing the best rationale for the need of the latter and the better exemplification of its meanings.
