Abstract

This chapter provides an illustration of how the support for innovation work has been developed at Karolinska University Hospital. Karolinska is a large university hospital in Sweden that provides highly specialised healthcare together with research and education. The chapter presents a ‘journey’ spanning the period 2011–2020 whose overall goal was to support innovation efforts at the hospital. During that time, different initiatives to achieve the goal were launched. These included establishing expertise in forming and leading innovation partnerships; developing a portfolio of educational programmes for clinical staff regarding innovation management; utilising the opportunity to certify the hospital’s innovation management professionals; engaging in the development of ISO standards for innovation management; and designing and implementing a hospital-wide innovation management system. This journey is then reflected upon, and the specific issues of adapting innovation management to a healthcare context and developing innovation management support in a hospital setting are discussed. This all serves as input for how to address innovation management as well as for future models of healthcare delivery.
