Peiró Posadas' research examines critical intersections of healthcare management and clinical operations, with emphasis on strategic planning frameworks, innovation implementation in resource-constrained environments, and leadership models for professional engagement. His work addresses Catalonia's unique healthcare governance challenges through the GLIGP research group, generating practical tools for health system administrators while advancing public management theory.

Analysis of his 2005-2024 publications reveals consistent focus on healthcare system transformation, with recent work (2020-2024) prioritizing oncology care pathways, agile innovation methodologies, and shared decision-making frameworks. His scholarship demonstrates strong alignment between theoretical contributions in public management journals and practical applications in Spain's National Health System.

Through ESADE's Executive Master in Management of Health Organizations, he trains healthcare leaders while directing research projects funded through GLIGP's AGAUR grant. His foundation leadership roles provide direct access to operational health system challenges, creating feedback loops between academic research and real-world management practice.

The Institute for Healthcare Management functions as his primary research hub, focusing on health system functionality analysis and management support for public/private health institutions. His foundation affiliations extend this work into specialized clinical domains including urology (Puigvert), neuroimmunology (Cemcat), and cancer survivorship care.
