Il tema dell'intensità delle cure e della complessità assistenziale è piuttosto recente, sia nel dibattito scientifico che manageriale e professionale e come tale presenta diverse possibilità interpretativi e differenti "mondi di senso". In questo libro si tenta di dare voce a tutte queste possibilità, tenendo conto delle diverse "visioni". Il punto di partenza, come evidenzia il titolo, è quello organizzativo, degli ospedali che cambiano, da una logica "tradizionale", verticale, per specialità; a una innovativa, orizzontale, per bisogni diversificati. Si è voluto evidenziare come il cambiamento sia prima filosofico-culturale e poi come coinvolga organizzazioni e professionisti. Addentrandosi nei modi per leggere il fenomeno, si incontrano diverse terminologie, definizioni e significati. In ragione di questa complessità interpretativa, si è scelto di denominare il percorso di cambiamento come: innovazione per "intensità di cura e complessità assistenziale" per valorizzare e dare spazio ai differenti punti di vista. Questo libro nasce dall'idea e dalla volontà di mettere su carta situazioni concrete ed esperienze sulla transizione da modelli di organizzazione ospedaliera tradizionale a quelli per intensità di cura e complessità assistenziale, aggiungendo elementi teorici utili alla comprensione del fenomeno nella sua complessità.
