商品描述

From a lead researcher in the field, an instructive edited collection on how to mitigate crises and stresses to ensure that the health systems we rely on continue to thrive.

Health systems--which include, but are not limited to, health centers, hospitals, or provincial or national health systems--are adaptive complex systems that are dynamic and organic. They evolve along with their changing environments. In Health System Resilience, Karl Blanchet and other contributors build on system thinking theories and complexity science to reveal the dynamics of health systems.

The book addresses how health systems absorb shocks, adapt to those shocks, and sometimes transform because of them. Since health systems are managed by human beings (patients, clinicians, allied professionals, managers), contributors also discuss how human beings make decisions in situations of change, how they process information, and how they analyze that information to make those decisions--which, in turn, affect the functioning of health systems.

The book also takes a deep dive into the COVID-19 pandemic and how it has transformed health systems as well as how professionals or patients interact with those health systems.

A crucial resource for health service managers, policymakers, researchers and students alike, Health System Resilience offers knowledgeable expertise as well as the latest methods and tools that can be applied to the management of health systems in times of crisis.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

來自該領域的首席研究員，這本編輯的教學集結了如何減輕危機和壓力，以確保我們所依賴的健康系統持續繁榮。

健康系統——包括但不限於健康中心、醫院或省級或國家級健康系統——是適應性複雜系統，具有動態和有機的特性。它們隨著環境的變化而演變。在健康系統的韌性中，Karl Blanchet及其他貢獻者基於系統思維理論和複雜性科學，揭示了健康系統的動態。

本書探討了健康系統如何吸收衝擊、適應這些衝擊，以及有時因為這些衝擊而轉變。由於健康系統是由人類（患者、臨床醫生、相關專業人員、管理者）管理的，貢獻者還討論了人類在變化情況下如何做出決策、如何處理信息，以及如何分析這些信息以做出決策——這些決策反過來又影響健康系統的運作。

本書還深入探討了COVID-19疫情及其如何改變健康系統，以及專業人士或患者如何與這些健康系統互動。

對於健康服務管理者、政策制定者、研究人員和學生來說，健康系統的韌性是一本重要的資源，提供了專業知識以及可以應用於危機時期健康系統管理的最新方法和工具。
