The Potential of System Dynamics
NHS Confederation Leading Edge Briefing Paper

This paper, co authored by Professor Eric Wolstenholme describes the potential for System Dynamics in the Health and Social Care environments. It describes that in order to make significant changes in complex adaptive organisations it is necessary to think differently and test ideas before use. The articles key points include:
  • is the origin of the current trend of ‘whole systems thinking’
  • enables the strategic modelling of non-linear relationships within complex adaptive organisations such as the NHS
  • works along pathways of care which cross organisation and sector boundaries complements existing planning tools such as spreadsheet models or actuarial analysis.
  • System dynamics is a versatile way of bringing whole-systems thinking to life in a rigorous, testable way.
