Complexity science reframes our view of many systems that are only partially understood by traditional scientific methods. But it's not for health care workers only - this book is useful to anyone interested in how complexity science is changing not only business management, but also how many disciplines of science relate to one another. Systems as apparently diverse as stock markets, human bodies, ecosystems, immune systems, termite colonies and hospitals seem to share some patterns of behavior. It represents a revolutionary new way for health care leaders to think about how they engage employees, work with physicians, manage unmanageably complex tasks and plan for an uncertain future. These patterns provide insights into sustainability, viability, and innovation.. This publication is the first book to address complexity science in health care

"Five Stars" according to Megan. Thank you for a great experience and a great product.. "looks good." according to poor post grad student. still working my way through this.looks good.. Complexity science explained to the masses! Kevin J Dooley As an innovation matures, it moves from one characteristic group of adopters to another. The topics of complexity and nonlinear dynamics were initially adopted by people who were considered "outliers" by their peer group, "freaks". Such innovators are comfortable spanning across disciplinary boundaries to learn how something works. The successful diffusion of the innovation does not occur however until the innovators hand over the ideas to the change agents in the system--those individuals who are creative enough to listen to the innovators, and yet respected and legitimized enough within the system to steer collective opinion.
