The Complex Adaptive System
Captions available
The idea
Healthcare is treated here as a complex adaptive system: many interacting parts, adapting to each other, where an intervention's effects are not confined to where it was applied.
In practice
A change on one unit producing effects on three others nobody planned.
Where people slip
Unit 10's balancing measures exist because of this. Complexity is why a change must be watched beyond where it was made.
