This book addresses the principle that successful treatment incorporates a remarkably broad range of clinical variables. Clinicians must identify the extent to which each factor contributes to the success of the treatment process, and how to utilize this information strategically so that their combination enhances outcome.
Complex clinical situations involve numerous macroscopic and microscopic components and their interactions. This book describes clinical practices and variables, that should be weighted according to their relevance for achieving treatment precision and improved results.
The book is divided into sections, each containing topically organized chapters. Sections build from identifying discrete components of the clinical field to combined variables as they impact treatment progression. The clinical narratives that make up the latter part of the book elaborate on the course of care and the challenges involved in managing complex clinical situations. Cases range from primary care patients with systemic medical and psychiatric co-morbidity to more complex cases requiring the involvement of medical specialists, allied health professionals, and multiple health care systems.
Scholarly, practical, and comprehensive, Complexity in Health Care enables clinicians to incorporate previously underappreciated health-related factors into their thinking and practice.

This book presents case-based descriptions of models for the inclusive, multispecialty and multidisciplinary clinical care of complex cases. Cases range from primary care patients with complex systemic medical and psychiatric comorbidity, to those requiring specialty care, to those with potentially terminal illnesses. While each category and case has its unique requirements often necessitating different models of care, the commonalities in approaching complex clinical situations is underscored. Extended case narratives written by the treating physicians, summarizing both the course of clinical care and physicians'' reflections on the challenges of managing complex patients, comprise the bulk of the book. Five additional chapters on systems issues associated with care of complex patients, together with a chapter on end of life considerations, a narrative analysis of the physicians reflections about complex patients, and a concluding chapter are prominently included to anchor the case narratives. Written by experts in the field, these descriptions form unique models for assessing and treating complex cases.
Integrated Care for Complex Patients is a useful guide for all health practitioners and health administrators who are responsible for clinically complex cases, including physicians in primary care and psychiatry, physician assistants and nurse practitioners, and psychologists.
