Proponents of general systems theory believed its principles were applicable to a variety of living systems. General systems theory was applied to health care delivery systems and provided a conceptual framework for operation. Intangibles in the health care delivery system may inhibit or facilitate open or closed systems and thereby directly or indirectly influence the quality and quantity of care. This paper reviews and discusses: 1) Basic concepts of general systems theory; 2) Application of general systems theory to health care delivery systems, including the Air Evac system; 3) Intangibles in systems which facilitate or inhibit health care delivery; and 4) Suggestions to facilitate open systems and the delivery of quality care.
一般系统理论的支持者认为其原则适用于各种生命系统。一般系统理论被应用于医疗保健提供系统，并为运营提供了一个概念框架。医疗保健提供系统中的无形因素可能会抑制或促进开放或封闭系统，从而直接或间接影响护理的质量和数量。本文回顾并讨论：1）一般系统理论的基本概念；2）一般系统理论在医疗保健提供系统中的应用，包括空中后送系统；3）系统中促进或抑制医疗保健提供的无形因素；4）促进开放系统和提供优质护理的建议。
