About the Course
In today’s intricate healthcare landscape, grasping the components of health systems is essential for effective policy-making and improving health outcomes. This course will cover the basics of health systems and systems thinking, focusing on frameworks like the Iceberg Model and Causal Loop Diagrams to understand their dynamics. We will explore the core elements and goals of health systems, view them as Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS), and discuss Health Systems Strengthening (HSS) to enhance their responsiveness and effectiveness.
Course Objectives
Develop a thorough understanding of systems thinking principles, including how they apply to health systems. This involves exploring the foundational concepts of systems thinking and identifying the various characteristics and types of systems within the healthcare context.
Acquire skills in using key systems thinking tools such as the Iceberg Model and Causal Loop Diagrams. Learn how to apply these tools to effectively analyze and visualize the complex dynamics and interrelationships within health systems.
Investigate the essential building blocks of health systems, including their components, structures, and functions. Understand how these elements interact within the framework of Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) to influence overall health system performance and outcomes.
Explore and apply strategies for Health Systems Strengthening (HSS) to enhance the resilience, efficiency, and responsiveness of health systems. Focus on methods to address and adapt to the evolving needs of populations, thereby improving the overall effectiveness of healthcare delivery.
