Mapping the way: functional modelling for community-based integrated care for older people.

Background: Healthcare system sustainability is challenged by several critical issues; one of the most pressing is the ageing population. Traditional, episodic care delivery models are not designed for older people who are medically complex and frail. These individuals would benefit from health and social care that is more comprehensive, coordinated, person-centred and accessible in the communities in which they live.

The Functional Resonance Analysis Method as a health care research methodology: a scoping review.

Objective: The objective of this review was to examine and map the literature on the use of the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) in health care research.

Introduction: The FRAM is a resilient health care tool tat offers an approach to deconstruct complex systems by mapping health care processes to identify essential activities, how they are interrelated, and the variability that emerges, which can strengthen or compromise outcomes. Insight into how the FRAM has been operationalized in health care can help researchers and policy-makers understand how this method can be used to strengthen health care systems.

The functional resonance analysis method as a health care research methodology: a scoping review protocol.

Objective: The objective of this review is to examine and map the literature on the use of the functional resonance analysis method in health care research.

Introduction: Health care systems are highly complex and involve interrelated functions, organizations, individuals, and technologies. Understanding how these elements interact and impact health care processes is difficult because of inherent contextual and human variables.
