Abstract: Abstract The main aim of this chapter is to examine the applicability of praxeological theory to the evaluation of innovative projects in the healthcare sector. We propose a set of project evaluation criteria and indicators. The empirical data used in the pilot study was taken from projects carried out by a Contract Research Organization. The analyzed projects regard R&D as well as clinical and observational studies. Interviews were conducted with experienced people in the R&D projects management, projects carried out jointly by scientific units, along with commercial projects in the medicine and pharmaceutical industry. The results of the conducted analyses formulate key criteria and indicators (based on effectiveness, economicality, and efficacy) for evaluating the performance of innovative healthcare projects. The conclusions drawn from the research results allow to claim that it is possible to use praxeological theory in the evaluation of healthcare projects. The chapter presents current problems important from the point of view of management sciences and undertaken research development.
