Abstract

Innovation is fundamental for the development of any organization, being achieved not only through the new products/services and the renewed processes offered, but also through managerial practices. In order to introduce innovative practices, an organization should adopt a managerial model of innovation that includes organizational innovation processes based on professional competences, people management skills and their influence on the decision-making process. It is with this in mind that we propose a model that provides room for reflection on the reality of the health service organization. The model allows us to conclude that the path to be followed by these health units in the public health sector will be a long and arduous one if they are to achieve an efficient implementation of the innovation process at the knowledge level of professions, together with a real and effective organizational performance.
