Chapter 1 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 interoperate 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.

AbstractThis paper proposes a categorization of existing approaches to healthcare-related engineering design based on systems thinking principles. Three existing approaches to healthcare-related engineering design are isolated which contribute differently to health systems fundamental purposes and interconnections. The three approaches are labeled as 'silent', 'overt', and 'convergent' health design. Each approach is defined and illustrated through an example. Following, practical advantages and disadvantages of each approach are discussed. A reflection is offered on the expected relevance of the convergent health design approach for present and future societal challenges in the health domain, and specifically on the recently growing field of e-health. Finally, open methodological challenges related to convergent health design are outlined and characterized as opportunities for future research.
