    General Systems Theory views entities holistically as sets of elements interacting with one another. A system is composed of interrelated components that share a common purpose to form a whole. Major concepts include open and closed systems, feedback, entropy, and holism. An open system interacts with its environment through inputs, throughputs, and outputs. Nursing is an example of applying open system concepts, with patient evaluations as inputs, nursing assessments as throughputs, and health outcomes as outputs.

    VON BERTALANFFY’S GENERAL

    SYSTEM’S THEORY
     A system is composed of separate components. The components
    are interrelated and share a common purpose to form a whole.
     According to American Psychology Asssociation, General
    System’s Theory is an interdisciplinary conceptual framework
    focusing on the wholeness, pattern, relationship, hierarchical
    order, integration, and organization of phenomena. In this
    framework, an entity or phenomenon should be viewed
    holistically as a set of elements interacting with one another,
    and the goal of general systems theory is to identify and
    understand the principles applicable to all systems.

    MAJOR CONCEPTS

     SYSTEM - consists of interrelated and interdependent parts

     BOUNDARIES - defines a system and distinguish it from others.

     ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEM
     OPEN SYSTEM - interacts with the environment, exchanging
    information between the system and the environment.
     Open to the environment; involves a permeable boundary,
    wherein, information and resources flow in and out.
     Exchange with the environment is essential for the health
    of the system.
     INPUT - Resources or information needed
     THROUGHPUTS - processes, activities within the
    organizational system
     OUTPUT - Outcomes

    Example of Open System Framework

     CLOSED SYSTEMS - Excludes environmental factors in the


    organization, since it is focused on internal behaviors and
    functions.

     FEEDBACK
     Negative Feedback - reduce the deviation on system’s
    processes
     Positive Feedback - amplify and enhance system’s current
    processes

     ENTROPY - System’s disorganization


     Equilibrium - balance; variables come into system to obtain
    homeostasis.
     HOLISM - The system is viewed as a whole; greater the sum of its
    parts. The parts are interdependent and interact through
    feedback process.

     INTERDEPENDENCE - Dynamic and interconnectivity to the


    environment; mutuality.
     May refer to the interrelationship of the subparts of the
    system.
     Subsystems make up the system.

     EQUIFINALITY

    APPLICATION

    Application of Organizational System - Open System to Nursing

     INPUT - The records derived from a patient's evaluation (e.g.,


    how the patient interacts with the surroundings and the patient's
    physiological state) is considered input for the nursing process.
     THROUGHPUT - The nurse assess the patient through the five
    stage of nursing process, ADPIE: Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning,
    Implementation, Evaluation, and Assessment.
     OUTPUT - Determining whether a patient's health improves,
    deteriorates, or remains steady as a result of nursing care
