Choice in health care is generally believed to be a positive feature, but the complexity of too many choices can also lead to paralysis on the part of consumers or suboptimal decisions. The idea of making the health care system simpler and more transparent certainly sounds good, at least in ...
This framework provides an empirical foundation that can be adopted for better understanding and characterizing aggregate complexity in healthcare systems through the use of social network measures. Complexity is defined as the interrelatedness of components within a system. For instance, healthcare ...
摘要: Changes in healthcare processes are implemented with the goal to improve care through improved patient safety, reduction in costs and work load, and improved communication. However, change often trigg出版时间: 2009 ISBN: 978-0-387-76445-0 被引量: 5 ...
In brief The complexity of the US healthcare system is driving people to choose the ER for acute care needs instead of less expensive care settings. People with low healthcare system literacy use the ER much more than those with a better understanding of the healthcare system. Tackling this...
Healthcare system quality indicators: the complexity perspectiveInference on the parameters of the title is complicated, particularly in multifactor designs. Variance stabilizing transformations yield statistics whose standard errors are only influenced by n, the number of observations on which they are ...
Background Complexity thinking is increasingly being embraced in healthcare, which is often described as a complex adaptive system (CAS). Applying CAS to healthcare as an explanatory model for understanding the nature of the system, and to stimulat
The emerging field of complexity science offers an alternative leadership strategy for the chaotic, complex healthcare environment. A survey revealed that healthcare leaders intuitively support principles of complexity science. Leadership that uses complexity principles offers opportunities in the chaotic healt...
Understanding the complexity of chronic NCDs and the adaptation of the health care system to implement new management strategies addressing the patients' needs, are still major challenges. Despite all the efforts aligning healthcare delivery with their needs, patients with chronic NCDs are still ...
This traditional model of primary care is not ideally suited to the reality of the problems that patients bring to primary care or for tight coordination of care. The primary care system and subsystems result in complex adaptations by team members and patients to changes in information, in- sur...
health care system and its role in the country to provide affordable care. It informs that the health care lags other industries like banking, retail industry and transportation in its ability to meet the needs of patients. It states that the deficiencies in care quality are not due to ...
