> > MANAGING DILEMMAS AND PARADOX
> >
> > Health systems can be thought of as fuzzy collections of semi-autonomous
> > agents whose responses often seem arbitrary and whose actions are
> frequently
> > unexpected. The traditional approach to managing such systems has been
> > through the imposition of control through rules, requirements and
> > regulations; experience, particularly in recent years as the complexity
of
> > such systems has increased, has demonstrated how inappropriate such an
> > approach can be. The novel behaviours emergent from interaction and
> > co-evolution in complex social systems offer fresh challenges for health
> > service managers. In this presentation we shall introduce and discuss
> some
> > novel approaches to the development and evaluation of relationships in
> > health service delivery and management. We shall describe some of our
> > recent work relating to clinical governance and to partnerships in
primary
> > care to illustrate ways of managing the dilemmas and paradoxes of health
> > service management, as well as talking more widely about some of the
> generic
> > issues involved.
