PY - 2020 T2 - Understanding Healthcare Delivery Science AB - The healthcare delivery system is evolving. As described in Chapter 1, its historical simplification of being “a workshop for the physician” is no longer relevant; now it has “the complexity of a living organism.” To take the analogy further, the healthcare delivery system, like most living organisms, is not the only creature in the community. Its borders can abut or meld with other evolving systems, and its intended outputs will be influenced by what’s happening in the surrounding environment. Healthcare delivery systems research, therefore, cannot be conducted without an understanding of the influences outside its formal operations. Furthermore, that which is outside the formal healthcare delivery system can be a key asset to the study of healthcare delivery science itself. To tap into this added value and analytic insight most effectively, partnering with community, professional, and policy organizations becomes paramount.
