TL;DR
When considering to foster the diffusion of network organizational forms in health care creating a network structure like that of Italian GPs is not sufficient, other features of the implementation phase, work organization and human resource management should also be considered.

Health Care Management ReviewImplementing managerial innovations in primary care
45 Citations2007Francesco Longo
The main drivers for managerial development are characteristics of the actors involved: their motivation, leadership, and commitment; the quality of relationships among the main actors; and how the resources dedicated to manage change are used.
Health PolicyClarifying the scope of Italian NHS coverage. Is it feasible? Is it desirable?
39 Citations1999Giovanni Fattore
It is very difficult to predict whether the national government will really go ahead with the implementation of a 'list of essential services' and whether this attempt will be successful, but rationing and priority setting should be discussed in the context of a general debate concerning the future of the Italian NHS.

27 Citations2003Vittorio Mapelli, Carlo Lucioni
Italy has a national health service (SSN) that is moving toward decentralization and empowerment of local health enterprises (LHEs)-the arms of the regions for delivering health services, but focus on health outcomes is limited and the cost-containment mentality still prevails.
