  2. 1. Insights from combining Action Research and System Dynamics when facilitating change and improvement processes in healthcare

    Author : Paul Holmström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; healthcare; improvement; change; implementation; action research; system dynamics; simulation;

    Abstract : BACKGROUND Healthcare is a complex system with multi-professional staff and multiple patient care pathways. Time pressure and minimal margins for error makes it challenging to implement new policies or procedures, no matter how desirable. Changes in healthcare also requires the participation of the multi-professional staff. READ MORE

  4. 2. Bringing System Dynamics into Action Research

    Author : Paul Holmström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; process consultation; Operations Research; simulation; action research; modelling; System Dynamics; healthcare;

    Abstract : System Dynamics simulation is a computer-aided approach to policy analysis and design, often carried out by external experts in simulation. System Dynamics is particularly useful in complicated and complex situations, such as healthcare. However, research has shown that few models in healthcare are implemented. READ MORE
