Applying Complexity Theory to a Hospital Complex Patient Care Program.

Increasingly, complexity science concepts are informing health care design and practice. The present paper describes the implementation of early complexity science principles in a Complex Care Program with the aim of strengthening the provision of integrated care. Grounded in cybernetic network theo...

      ab: Increasingly, complexity science concepts are informing health care design and practice. The present paper describes the implementation of early complexity science principles in a Complex Care Program with the aim of strengthening the provision of integrated care. Grounded in cybernetic network theory, Stafford Beer's Viable Systems Model [1] provided the guiding principles for the program's redesign. The Viable Systems Model with its broadly applicable principles [1], is now the conceptual model of information management in the program. Beer's framework has enabled a relatively small number of clinicians to coordinate care for a large cohort of patients with significant clinical complexity, and a multitude of providers, in the community setting.
