A Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) disease model with waning immunity

This simple high level model shows the basic feedback balancing loop for health services. There are many other loops and component interactions at multiple scales that add to the complexity See areas of expenditure IM for some component splits and hospital value IM for some service linkages

Rich picture version of causal loop diagram for medication errors, showing the importance of reporting, analyzing and fixing knowledge and process errors. Medication errors will tend to grow due to the use of more medications in more complex patients. This is exacerbated by the loss of staff knowledge by turnover and goal erosion in places with harmful errors.
