My random comments and collections on complex adaptive systems as they relate to healthcare. System: interconnected parts. Complex: too many parts and relationships for easy prediction. Adaptive: The parts can make their own choices, and these autonomous choices make the system evolve. Agreeded upon simple rules can move the system toward goals.
