> 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.
