Abstract

As systems evolve over time, their natural tendency is to become increasingly more complex. Studies in the field of complex systems have generated new perspectives on the application of management strategies in health systems. Much of this research appears as a natural extension of the cross-disciplinary field of systems theory. This article focuses on why technological complexity is increasing and strategies nurse administrators can use to successfully implement change in the face of it.
