Systems Theory and Practice Issues
Many of you have experience in complex adaptive systems whether you realize it or not. Thinking about your current or future practice area, identify an issue or concern. In your initial response, please describe the concern. Does the concern primarily occur at the micro, meso, or macro level? How would you address this issue? What impact might your solution have on the other levels of the system? In what ways could interprofessional collaboration be used to resolve the issue? Micro-, Meso-, and Macrosystems Organization systems can be divided into different levels: micro-, meso-, and macrosystems. The system levels can be viewed as individual, unit, department, organization, or more globally as department, organization, and community. Each system level requires new adaptive responses from leaders to create an optimal practice environment conducive to quality outcomes. Use 2 scholarly resource. What is a scholarly resource?
