Public health care innovation lab tackling the barriers of public sector innovation
本研究通过芬兰一家医院区的创新实验室案例，探讨了公共部门创新实验室如何通过改变互动、商业化、相互学习和独立性来应对公共卫生保健中的创新障碍，但对规避风险和官僚主义的缓解作用有限。
Acknowledging the public sector’s remarkable innovation potential and several challenges hindering its innovation capability, this case study explores the impact of public sector innovation laboratory on innovation barriers of public health care. Findings are based on a Finnish hospital district’s innovation laboratory specialized as an authentic environment to develop novel technology and service solutions with various private sector partners. By altering the PSO’s approaches on interaction, commercialization, mutual learning and independence, the PSI laboratory proves especially influential in tackling innovation barriers related to complexity and organizational competences. Conversely, the lab’s impact on the barriers of risk-aversion and bureaucracy is lesser.
