The definition of complexity and complex systems is far from unique and their multiplicity increase when considering the whole spectrum of sciences, from the natural to the social. It is an opportunity for a pragmatic approach to combine concepts from the whole spectrum of complexity science to tackle societal problems. In this talk, we will present a mixed methods to conceptualise issues in the healthcare domain. In particular, we will focus on patient flow both in the hospital and the community to and show how a complexity science angle can be used to improve patient outcomes.
