Hi Russell,
A group of us here in Santa Fe have a strong interest in applications
of complexity to health care systems. We've worked on a few small
exploratory projects looking at the mental health systems in Florida
and California as well as health delivery for NHS in the UK. We are
starting with the easier bits of data visualization of caseflow data
based on billing data and then incorporating agent-based models. While
only research-phase at this point, we would be very interested to
understand how we can approach health care and other social systems
like criminal justice as self-organizing systems structuring in non-
equilibrium contexts.

I know I've come to the party late, but I was fascinated by Russ
Abbott's essay in Complexity, 2006. CT has so much to give to the
health care debate, and so few people interested in exploring it.
Even ardent "complexionists" (?) sometimes deny health care as a
CAS. Value in health care is an emergent concept. Attempts at
imposed order, without recognition of emergent order and starting
point, will push the system into chaos (ala David Snowden's "Cynefin
Framework").
