Abstract
In this chapter, it begins with the definition of “complexity” and introduces the complexity in the health care systems. After that, the changes in health care systems and challenges for hospital management are described. Health care is a complex system with emergent behavior, many interacting components, and inherent unpredictability. Decisions in health care should be made and implemented by multidisciplinary management teams. Health care systems face pressures to improve the efficiency in the provision of health services and to contain public spending, whilst maintaining the quality of the service. Hospitals, as one component of the health service organization, are seeking new paradigms to improve efficiency and effectiveness, especially for the use of resources.
