Popis:	The one most serious issue in health care is that its costs are too high and rising too quickly while the quality of service is lagging behind. We view this is a consequence of complexity associated with current health care systems. We report the Axiomatic approach, which has been used to optimize many complex engineering systems, can be applied towards unravelling the complexity associated with a healthcare system and suggesting optimal design solutions. This paper presents cases of the Axiomatic approach in health care including the improvement of patient flow in emergency rooms and organizational design for a multi-campus mental health hospital.
