Background  Involving doctors in management has been intended as one of the strategies to spread organizational principles in healthcare settings. However, professionals often resist taking on relevant managerial responsibility, and the question concerning by which means to engage doctors in management in a manner that best fit the challenges encountered by different health systems remains open to debate.    Methods  This paper analyzes the different forms of medical management experienced over time in the Italian NHS, a relevant “lab” to study the evolution of the involvement of doctors in management, and provides a framework for disentangling different dimensions of medical management.    Results  We show how new means to engage frontline professionals in management spread, without deliberate planning, as a consequence of the innovations in service provision that are introduced to respond to the changes in the healthcare sector.    Conclusions  This trend is promising because such means of performing medical management appear to be more easily compatible with professional logics; therefore, this could facilitate the engagement of a large proportion of professionals rather than the currently limited number of doctors who are “forced” or willing to take formal management roles.
