title: Innovate and prosper.
abstract: ALL HEALTH care organisations have a need to innovate. It enables them to deal with the changing forms of disease, technological developments and demography. Research-led developments, with great value placed on clinical interventions, still occupy centre stage and little attention is given to management interventions and in particular to the evaluation of innovations.
