Abstract "conceptualizes a health system as a collection of interacting elements that are designed to produce outputs that lead to better population health. A system's elements both 'hang together' as a whole and continually interact and affect each other as they inter-operate to produce their final result. Systems thinking is one of the most important disciplines enabling one to understand and characterize systems that display dynamic complexity. Systems thinking in health is a framework for seeing interrelationships and repeated events rather than individual activities, for discerning patterns of change, understanding responses to policies, and for deciphering human behavior within health systems and over time"-- Provided by publisher.
