SYSTEMS ANALYSIS IN THE HEALTH FIELD
Author: Ivan Yanachkov at al.
The management process has cyclic character and is, relatively, cooped up. It begins with aiming a target and ends with accomplishment of the aims by attaining some results. On the basis of information from the results /which are the attained or unattained targets and aims, per se/ and consequently, new aims are targeted - this is the organization and administration of a recurring cycle. The subject of management /viz, health management body/ is responsible for systems of governing members and organs, making a series of operations and each displacing another in a row. This follow-up of operations, controlled by the subject, is associated with a high level of precision while each step is break-up in modules. This, so called "theory of queues" has relativity which means that each previous step is a premise for a sequel. The cycle end is limited by a parameter information, i.e. we say the "net is small".
The elements of systems analysis include four special features:
1. Presence of integrated loops which denote a sum greater than the structure components.
Example: sick individual
2. Content validity of the respective votive.
Example: health care system
3. Space dimension of the operations research.
Example: reform of health care system
4. Coordination with the environment with regard to confounding and interaction effects.
Example: medical decision making
In social economics aspect the systems are divided into autonomous and non-autonomous, etc. The fundamentals of the systems approach appear as an independent scientific concept during the 3rd decade of the twentieth century. Builder of this theory is Ludwig von Bertalanffy /1901-1972/.
