The Stacks
These sections of the library are not assumed to be exclusive. There are views of health and healthcare that may, and do, fit into multiple categories. The Health System Dynamics Wikipedia is well suited to such ambiguity; the use of links makes cross-referencing quite easy.
Notwithstanding, if you think there are useful categories for models that do not fit under any of the above categories, feel free to add a category below. Please consider how others will think of your model before creating new categories.
Evans, Barer, and Marmor described disease/illness (and injury) and its interaction with healthcare as a dynamic in which various factors influenced the incidence of disease, to which the primary reponse is the moblization of healthcare resources. As the "outside"factors caused more disease, more healthcare resources were sought, and the pressure on technology and capacity increased.
Generally speaking, use these sections for information and data related to the dynamics of disease and the design and utilization of healthcare resources as a response to disease/illness and injury. Includes:
Disease
Add brief explanation here...(epidemiology, natural progression of illness, illness burden, etc.)
Healthcare Design and Delivery

Evans, Barer, and Marmor go on to develop a set of relationships that more robustly explore the influences on the overall illness burden of a population. This part of their model acknowledges that there are factors overwhich individuals (and/or populations) have no control and factors over which they have some degree of control, ranging from low to high.

Evans, Barer, and Marmor argue that resources that are focused on improvements in health (as opposed to primary used to fund healthcare) will resylt in an improvement in a population's health and functionality, and its well-being and prosperity.
