Outcomes from the workshop ‘Putting Complexity to Work – Supporting the Practitioners’: implications for health care

Patrick Beautement¹,

Christine Broenner²

Abstract: As the nature of complexity offers no one single ultimate solution, the paper concludes that, for operationalizing the insights received from complexity science into their day-to-day work, practitioners in health care and other domains need to address a range of challenges that are outlined in the paper.

“…The papers in this issue continue to demonstrate the leading role of the Forum in promoting the role of complexity sciences to solve issues facing all agents in the health care environment: patients, practitioners, students, researchers and policy makers. Beautement and Broenner [57] demonstrate how to successfully engage multiple stakeholders into thinking about complexity sciences, to reach consensus and to implement these into practice. Katerndahl's study [58] explores the dynamics of institutional leadership on the support and output of systems based research.…”

It is the 'moral compass', however subtle, that underpins leadership. Leadership, meaning showing the way, demands as much conviction as gentile diplomacy in the discourse with supporters and detractors. In particular, leadership defends the goal by safeguarding its principles from its detractors. The authors writing in the Forum on Complexity in Medicine and Healthcare since its inception are leaders in an intellectual transition to complex systems thinking in medicine and health.

External stakeholders and health promoting schools: complexity and practice in South Africa

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

PurposeThis paper examines the role of two higher education institutions in the Western Cape, South Africa, and how their initiatives and collaboration brought about a particular Health Promoting Schools (HPS) program in a resource poor setting. The aim of this paper is to reflect on the importance of the role that external systemic actors and stakeholders can play in the process of designing and implementing HPS programs in resource poor settings. Design/methodology/approachIn this paper a complex systems approach is employed to describe two different participatory methods of engagement with HPS by higher education institutions. On the one hand, engagement took place in terms of a formal and funded project, directed at the organizational level of the school, with capacity building as its aim. On the other hand, engagement was initiated informally (as part of a service learning project) via collaboration with the formal project, directed at the individual level of learners in the school. FindingsIn recognizing the complex nature of planning and implementing HPS programs, the paper demonstrates that HPS approaches could benefit from engaging with resources outside the ambit of institutional health and educational policies and structures. Originality/valueBy acknowledging the systemic nature of implementing HPS strategies, novel collaborations emerge as a result. The paper highlights the important role that external stakeholders such as higher education institutions play in creating and sustaining tailor-made HPS programs for schools based in resource poor settings.
