ISSCSH is a diverse, interdisciplinary, learning community from all walks of life, including health care, industry, academia, government, consulting, and advocacy backgrounds. We are health professionals, patients, researchers & design professionals, educators, students, administrators and policy makers – from and for all over the globe.We envision a world where the principles, mindsets, and methodologies of systems thinking, systems science, and complexity science are routinely, effectively, and appropriately applied by professionals, policymakers, and community members to improve the well-being, health, and health care of people anywhere on the globe.ISSCSH bridges the sometimes seemingly insurmountable gap between theory and practice by facilitating practical theorists to equip theoretically sound practitioners with the principles, mindsets, and methodologies of systems and complexity thinking, sciences and design. We help foster effective management of the inherent complexity within the articulation, cultivation, and restoration of health and wellness, particularly through the effective and efficient delivery of health care services. We investigate, educate, advocate, collaborate, and advise to ensure the development, dissemination, and application of such knowledge, methods, and mental models to strengthen health systems. We consider health systems to be complex, with the standard properties of complex systems: emergence, non-linearity, limited predictability, fundamental uncertainty, evolutionary dynamics, self-organization, and disproportionate changes brought about by events.We encourage and engage in multi-level, big-picture thinking that doesn't lose sight of the impact and importance of "the details" all while holding to rigorous scientific approaches and methods.We use the principles of relational coordination to foster interconnectedness and information sharing among individuals, academic and professional disciplines, and schools of thought.
