The increasing and ageing population, greater numbers of people
living with long-term conditions, and growing demand for more
advanced healthcare and more expensive technologies: these are just
a few of the challenges that health systems are currently facing.
In this context, there is a growing fear that current healthcare
systems are not sustainable. Management is one lever that can help
solve these issues, and healthcare organisations are currently
facing the challenges of both transforming management practice and
implementing and appropriating new management techniques. The
Health Management Innovation (HMI) Research Centre is an initiative
that aims to help these organisations in this process.
The Centre is dedicated to the research of managerial
innovations and the delivery of Health Care Services. This covers
technology, performance management, organisational design, human
capital, financing, business models etc. that can allow, on the one
hand, to improve the quality of care and, on the other, to increase
the sustainability of Health Systems.
Bringing together the expertise of our faculty and many external
international associates, the objective of the HMI Centre at ESCP Europe
Business School is to contribute to current academic knowledge
and emphasise the practice of health-related organisations.
Our research stance is clinical in the sense that it aims to
deal with issues encountered by practitioners with the help of
academic knowledge and methods. Our experience proves that applying
research methods can help managers solve complex operational
problems by shedding new light while creating valuable academic
knowledge.
The HMI Centre's activities will, therefore, add value to our
corporate and government partners by:
- Addressing operational problems and helping identify
appropriate solutions
- Fostering practice exchange with the aim of helping actors to
appropriate good practices
- Advising on issues related to health management
