It is rich in concepts that can facilitate a fuller understanding of what health systems are. Joa?o Costa applies these concepts and shows the analytical possibilities they open up. He argues concisely how Luhmann's Social Systems Theory offers an integrated theoretical body as well as a consistent articulation of concepts that can lay the groundwork for a vastly improved health systems thinking. 410 0$aGesundheit, Kommunikation und Gesellschaft 517 $aHealth As a Social System 606 $aSocial service 606 $aPublic health 610 $aHealth Systems Strengthening. 610 $aHealth Systems Thinking. 610 $aIntroduction. 610 $aMedicine. 610 $aNiklas Luhmann. 610 $aPublic Health. 610 $aSocial Relations. 610 $aSocial Systems. 610 $aSociological Theory. 610 $aSociology of Medicine. 610 $aSystems Theory. 615 0$aSocial service. 615 0$aPublic health. 676 $a362.1 700 $aCosta$b Joăo$0591888 712 02$aBMBF Fördervorhaben 16TOA002$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910642293303321 996 $aHealth as a Social System$93057622 997 $aUNINA
