The result is that the new organizational structure does not strictly minimize costs, but promotes research and efficient distribution of resources between labs. The conclusion is that this approach allows to measure performance in cost due to organizational change and confirms the effectiveness on costs of the restructuration of INI’s research under the Comprehensive Health Care Model.
