How coping can hide larger systems problems: the routine immunisation supply chain in Bihar, India.
Researchers developed a computational simulation model of Bihar, India's routine immunization supply chain where coping occurs to evaluate the broader impact of coping. They conclude that their results show how coping can hide major system design deficiencies and how restricting coping can improve problem diagnosis and potentially lead to enhanced system design.

Leveraging diverse data sources to identify and describe U.S. health care delivery systems.
Health care delivery systems are a growing presence in the U.S., yet research is hindered by the lack of universally agreed-upon criteria to denote formal systems. This study assesses available data sources to identify and describe systems, including system members and relationships among the members.

Multi-stakeholder collaboration in the redesign of family-centered rounds process.
This study explores the experience of multiple stakeholders with collaboration in a healthcare system redesign project. A model of collaborative healthcare system redesign was developed, which defined four phases (i.e., setup of the redesign team, preparation for meetings, collaboration in meetings, follow-up after meetings) and two outcomes (i.e., team outcomes, redesign outcomes) of the collaborative process.
