Health systems globally are struggling with. common issues such as access, wait times, and the delivery of new models of care such as team-based care. While it has been argued that addressing our health crisis involves better implementation of known solutions, we argue that mindset is an overly simplified representation of health system implementation.

Addressing that challenge requires us to conceptualize health system implementation as an interacting system of systems that evolve over time.
