COMPLEX ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS

Why is it needed?

Historically, health is based on machine thinking of diagnose-intervention and linear causal relations.

Today, we are aware that the context, its interaction, and the purpose of the whole system is in development (Greenhalgh 2018).

Therefore, the performative knowledge of complex adaptive systems is urgent in health. We need to learn to navigate situative between different paradigms.
