Document Summary
Health care and services delivery systems as complex adaptive systems. Behavior hopefully it will be predictable so we will know what to do when another issue comes along: related to chaos theory. Made of many parts that are independent but interdependent on themselves. Once a disruption occurs-- organizations will change rapidly, unpredictably and without a set pattern. Know the 3 orders of change: action is taken to adapt the observation to the existing schema. Adapt; observe it happening, then you need to: where there is purposeful change in the schema in order to better fit observations, where a schema survives or dies. In hc we have problems with this because we are human oriented at the individual level: as a nurse you have to react differently for each patients catastrophic moments throughout the day, examples . Predictors of disease: how politics and different things affect disease.
