Public Health Adaptive Systems Studies   

A CDC Preparedness and Emergency Response Research Center

Preparedness and Adaptive Response Model

RESEARCH PURPOSE

To test the hypothesis that there is, in fact, no single “organization chart” that will make for an optimal public health system. Rather than a static organization chart, the optimal public health system possesses an adaptive repertoire from which it can self-organize and tip itself into a broad spectrum of structures.

SPECIFIC AIMS

1. Develop and deliver an agent-based computational model of the Public Health Preparedness and Emergency Response System, a preparedness and adaptive response model, or PARM.
2. Train PHASYS researchers in the use, refinement, and extension of the model.
3. Apply the model to uncover novel and counter-intuitive approaches to improving the public health system.
