Abstract

The recent pandemic has highlighted the weaknesses and the strengths of the Italian Healthcare System, revealing the importance of a cooperative behavior among involved actors. The paper shows how Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs) may contribute to pursue the strategic objectives aimed at correctly replying to the healthcare needs. In more details, the paper highlights the role of PPPs in valorizing the interdependencies existing among actors and reveals the possibility of adopting PPPs as effective tools to manage appropriate and effective healthcare services. At this aim the paper shortly analyzes the reply of the Italian Healthcare System to the pandemic and summarizes its political-institutional assets and its composition and articulation in several levels of responsibilities and various types of Organizations. Then it focuses on the activities conducted by the Scientific Research, Hospitalization and Healthcare Institute (so-called IRCCS) to face the COVID-19 pandemic. IRCCS are Healthcare Organizations which operate in the business of translational research and healthcare excellence services. The paper highlights the capacity of IRCCS of exploiting relationships and building PPPs. The analysis of the case study of Istituto Romagnolo per lo Studio dei Tumori better elucidates the possibility of value creation through PPPs in the Healthcare Sector.
