The Healthcare EMBA class at Baldwin Wallace College is working on an
Idealized Health System Design Project. Community health is a large
component of the model. We are largely in the conceptualization stages for
the second generation of the model.

The first model (by the class that graduated last December) was lacking in
a number of aspects. A lot of study and research since then (in terms of SD
modeling [ Forresters Urban Dynamics, inclusive of the Readings book
edited by Mass, has been a huge insight] as well as epidemiology, public
health, economics, social determinants of health and care delivery) should
significantly improve the model this time around.

We (the faculty working on the project) have considered putting the project
into the public domain but at present we dont feel there is sufficient
narrative descriptions and explanations to give clear guidance to
participants outside the classroom. As a super-broad focus statement, we
are looking at the dynamics of population based health status, with care
delivery (healthcare) as a subsystem of the whole system.

What are you looking at (in terms of scope and focus)?
