As noted in the Learning Resources systems theory provides a meaningful and beneficial means of examining challenges in health care organizations. To do this effectively however it is essential to assessallsystem components as some may be relatively healthy while others are problematic.For this Assignment you apply systems theory to the examination of a problem in a department or a unit within a health care organization. (Note:You may use the same problem you identified for the Discussion as long as it meets the criteria for this assignment.)To prepare:Write a 3- to 5-page paper (page count does not include title and reference page) that addresses the following:Marquis B.
