“…Furthermore, there are other activities going on in the healthcare system that have less to do with technical innovation, but rather focus on organisational aspects.

The article investigates organisational drivers and restrainers of innovation in hospitals on the background of different institutional logics. It presents evidence from a multiple case study in Polish hospitals, which reveals different dynamics on the micro-, meso- and macro-level of organisations in enabling and implementing new procedures and technologies. In particular, the study documents an ambiguous influence of medical professionalism as a specific logic in the healthcare sector, which can affect innovation positively as well as negatively. The article therefore proposes a managerial framework based in innovation action commitment to control the effects of professionalism in healthcare.
