- - The study uses complexity theory to analyze how the English NHS responded to a resurgence of tuberculosis in London, building on Tennison's (2002) idea that this theory can shed light on healthcare systems facing complex challenges.
- - By integrating New Public Management principles, the research finds that the NHS's tendency for self-organization is hindered by an overarching focus on control and measurement, which overshadows innovation and adaptability.
- - The paper concludes by discussing the limitations of their research and proposing areas for future exploration in the context of healthcare systems.
