SYSTEMS THINKING
System:Perceived whole whose elements
hang together effecting each other
Systems Thinking:
A body of principles, methods, and tools focused on the interrelatedness of forces
in a system
13
PROCESSES IN SYSTEMS THINKING14
Systemic Structure Key Components:
Process flows,Attitudes & perceptions,Ways decisions are made, HierarchyThe system working with all its
parts
PROCESSES IN SYSTEMS THINKING15
Four Levels in Systems:
Events (occurrences) Patterns of Behavior (trends over
time) System Structure (decisions,
relationships, efforts, targets, incentives, etc.)
Mental Models (beliefs, assumptions, mind sets about ways work gets done)
SYSTEMS THINKING -PROCESS TOOLS
• Cause and Effect Relationships
• Process Diagrams Show a Flow or Sequence of Activities
16
A affects B affects C
A then B then C
17
• Who are the various owners of the process?
• What group of people have some stake or ownership of different parts of the process?
• You can address the symptoms, but until you address the problem you can not resolve it
• Addressing the symptoms is call the Band-Aid approach
Systems Thinking
18
• MD writes order• Sent to Pharmacy by Nursing• Pharmacy fills the order• Pharmacy sends the medication up to the Nursing
Unit• Nurses give the medication• Nurses & MD monitors the patient’s condition
Medication Process
19
• What if the doctor’s handwriting can not be read and doctor is not available?
• What if the Pharmacy decides not to fill it until later? Or if the Pharmacy has no medication
• What if it does not get to the unit until after the time it was needed?
• What if the nurses are too busy to be able to give the medication on time?
Medication Process
20
• What if Nursing decides to change the times they administer the medications and does not tell the Pharmacy?
• What if the Pharmacy does not have a medication and does not contact the doctor until after clinic hours and the MD is not on call?
• What if Pharmacy decides to send the medication in 2 pouches instead of just one?
Medication Process
21
• You need to examine the players and determine who will be affected by any actions that you take
• You want to expand your clinic? – How many more practitioners ?– Nursing staff to run the clinic & move patients around?– Lab work increase of workload?– Radiology increase of workload?– Pharmacy have needed medications?
• CAN NOT DO IT BY YOURSELF when you want to do something like this
Systems Thinking
