Abstract—The main objective of this research work is to demonstrate the necessity of changing modes of the traditional hospital governance. These modes are characterized by logic of specialization and a segregation of tasks, a power of competence and a broad autonomy of doctors releasing them from the need to coordinate their activities with those of their colleagues. The new mode of governance leads to a real capacity of initiative and an empowerment of hospital practitioners. The renovated organization offers an opportunity to engage in a real integration of different medical and administrative logic and a reconciliation of professional cultures that promote a synergy of skills, resources and, therefore, optimize resources allocation and improve the quality of care. The aim is to ensure better coordination between the medical sphere and the administrative sphere, in order to make the hospital system work faster and better.
