COVID‐19: A systems perspective on opportunities for better health outcomes

Abstract: COVID‐19 has disrupted social and spatial life. In this work, I argue that such disruption provides an opportunity for all tiers of government to reassess collective priorities and reorient societal goals to work towards better health outcomes for all. I offer a systems thinking perspective to show how societal goals such as economic growth are supported by “system rules” created by governments—the same rules largely responsible for prevailing inequities and preventable chronic, noncommunicable diseases and co… Show more

“…So far, the application of systems theory to the COVID-19 and climate crisis is limited. Morgan (2022) and McConnell (2021) argue for a systems-thinking approach to recognize COVID-19 and place major social or global health challenges into the wider societal context. Applying a Luhmannian systems-theory perspective, Le Ravalec et al (2022) suggest that the economic system is unable to properly capture messages from its environment on climate change.…”
