Excellent- More about Managing Complexity in Healthcare
Managing Complexity in Healthcare introduces the ComEntEth (Complex Entropic Ethical) model, which theorizes healthcare as energetic relational exchanges between people as entropic and ethical entities that unfold around a central attractor: Reduction in elevated entropy or suffering in patients. This book provides practitioners, managers, policy designers, and scholars with an effective way to understand the dynamics of daily processes and practices that link the micro of everyday interactions with the macro-trends of healthcare.

Managing Complexity in Healthcare presents the ComEntEth (Complex Entropic Ethical) model as an integrated bio-medical and philosophical framework for comprehending how individuals navigate healthcare processes. Drawing upon the fields of complexity sciences, entropy studies in living organisms, and the ethical principles of Emmanuel Levinas, healthcare is conceptualized as an energetic interplay between individuals, characterized by their entropic and ethical nature, unfolding around a central objective: the reduction of elevated entropy or suffering in patients.
Living entities are perpetually engaged in a battle against the inherent tendency to generate entropy. This relentless drive towards disorder and decay manifests across various scales, from the microscopic realm of cellular processes to the collective endeavors of human societies. However, within the intricate tapestry of healthcare enterprises, individuals defy this entropy-generating trend by investing energy to establish order and sustain life. Understanding the mechanisms behind this extraordinary feat is the cornerstone of this book.
Through real-world examples, encompassing analysis of practitioner burnout, challenges in rural and remote healthcare, the functioning of emergency departments, as well as government, social, and institutional responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, this novel integral philosophy offers practitioners, managers, policy designers, and scholars a powerful tool for gaining insights into the dynamics of daily processes and practices that connect the micro-level interactions of everyday life with the broader macro-trends of healthcare. By employing the ComEntEth model, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between individuals, organizations, and systems, enabling them to make informed decisions and develop effective strategies for improving healthcare outcomes.
