The HPSIG Library
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. For instance, the original HSD Wikipedia root page is one such view. 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.
The Field Model of Health 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 (Illness and Injury)Includes topics such as:
Healthcare Design and DeliveryIncludes topics such as:
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.

The entire Evans, Barer, Marmor model looks like this:
There are also categories for models that do not exactly fit the Evans, Barer, Marmor model, but which play a role in a system dynamics view of health. Public Policy and PoliticsAdd brief explanation here...

Health EconomicsIncludes topics such as:

Whole System Dynamics (Health as a System)The Evans, Barer, Marmor Field Model of Health is, in effect, the whole system of health (health as a system). This section of the library is for content that relates to health as a system rather than any one dimension of the Field Model of Health.
Stone SoupFor content that defies structured classification. Add it to the stone soup mix, stop by frequently for a tasting.
