Complex systems
Simples systems, complicated systems and
complex systems
Complex systems is chaotic but not
unpredictable => chaos and fractals
Predictable but not definite – emerging
properties, unintended consequences
Systems archetypes and the failure of logics
Systems dynamics and modelling

systems
WHO health systems framework – simple diagram with
hidden complexity
Health systems and social determinants – expanding
interconnectivity
Some practical examples of “interconnectedness
and health” – UK healthy nations framework
Health systems becomes more complex with more
interconnected components as we learn and rethink
more

13. Designing for better
interconnectedness
The need to see and use more than biomedical sciences in providing
health care – from sciences-based to systems-based education
Designing for a better interconnected health care systems – designing on
the fly
Redesigning better interconnected health systems for non-emergency
context – to better cope with changing health burden due to 2 transitions
=> CCU for continuity of care
Design thinking as an integral part of future health systems for better
interconnectedness

control
Pain points in an overloaded systems – better interconnectedness for
better efficiency and burden reduction
Better interconnectedness between public and private sector
Better connected between home/community isolation and health care
facilities => rotation of beds and management at home for severe cases
(while rotation is limited)
Mobilization of supports for facilities expansion and task shifting with
additional HRH mobilization
Interconnectedness between the 3 control measures and policy processes
and level of actions (3x3)

19. Interconnectedness of future health
systems
The future started yesterday – the 2 transitions (Epi and Demo)
We have not been late but may be slow
What the world need now we have a lot in store
We have a solid foundation if we don’t mess it up
So many warning signs to reform for better interconnectedness when it comes
to chronic conditions
We need “new mechanism” to better interconnect health care systems from
family to tertiary care
Information flow and receptive people to make use of the information are 2
key components for better interconnectedness

28. Integrating design thinking for better inter
connectednesss
The future is changing fast, existing structure and process of work will need
to change to make the health systems effective, efficient and equity-
oriented
Redesigning systems may need to take place quite frequently under
rapidly changing context and disruptive technology
design thinking could be useful as a tool and process to make the new
design better connecting and relevant to multiple and diverse
stakeholders
Design thinking for NCD and ผอบ ยะรัง/ปัตตานี => designing for better
interconnectedness in covid19 control?

29. Final 3 points for better
interconnectedness
Generalist vs specialists - If you are working on a well defined and well
understood problem specialist works very well. As uncertainty and
ambiguity increases, which is the norm with systems problems, breath
becomes increasingly important”
Teaching health system sciences for health professionals – no need to ask
for more time but may need to redesign how to learn knHSS and what to
delete/drop
Practicing medicine in a world with incomplete knowledge – learning
health systems?
