This chapter explores the potential of system dynamics (or SD), a computer-aided methodology for policy analysis and design, to investigate patient organizations' contribution to healthcare. The chapter starts by describing the complexity features of the healthcare sector. Then it illustrates SD building blocks. A literature review of previous system dynamics applications to healthcare care issues categorizes selected papers according to relevant criteria. It emerges that few models incorporate patients' characteristics and perspective, none of them specifically dealing with patients' organizations and patient co-created health. In conclusion, the chapter highlights how SD can be considered a suitable methodology to depict the outcome of patients and their organizations' participation to healthcare processes, filling a gap in literature about both qualitative and quantitative system dynamics.

Public Policy Analysis

The paper presents research on the content of postgraduate programs in the field of public policy at leading European universities. Based on previous research, more than 80 courses are classified in four areas: economic analysis, research methods, public administration, and public policy, in order to obtain a typical master program in public policy analysis. The programs mostly emphasize research methods and public policy theory and application with somewhat lower presence of economic analysis and public management. The results of the research can be used for the purpose of formulating new postgraduate programs at universities in Serbia.

Abstract The symbolic computing system MACSYMA is used to automatically generate the explicit equations necessary to represent the kinematic constraints and system dynamics and to compute the design sensitivities for optimal design of any multibody system. The logic to construct system matrices and vectors involved in the analysis and design equations is implemented as general purpose MACSYMA programs. All necessary manipulations are performed by MACSYMA and the equations are output as FORTRAN statements that can be compiled and executed. This approach results in a computational saving of up to 95% compared to using a general purpose programs. The approach is general in nature and is applicable to any multibody system. Examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.
