I think most scientist are well aware of the different systems, feedback mechanisms and such. But to solve many medical problems, many doctors/scientist just targets a single problem in the hope that it would solve it all.
Research breaks the first rule of the fifth discipline. It cuts up a problem into many pieces and then try to fit all the pieces together. When that happens, many of the data and observations do not fit and then crazy theories and scenarios are made to try and fit it all together. I think the new breed of scientist must be well trained in understanding systems within the microenvironment let alone the human body. This sort of understanding may bring about new treatments, new diagnosis tools and even better ways to investigate and trace medical problems.
I am continuing to read, assimilate and try to apply systems thinking into my research work. Its quite hard to find resources devoted to this area of research philosophy. Hopefully, time will produce more advancement in this area of thinking.
It would be cool to introduce this topic of Systems thinking in Immunology Research at the DoI. But t the moment, I still dunno what is going on with our local Rep.

In our setting, Systems Design involves a holistic multi-faceted approach to examining the delivery of care including evaluation of structure, process, incentives and controls. Systems Design builds on the earlier two programme tracks (Outcomes Research and Health Technology Assessment) and utilizes the findings to propose improvements. Systems Design includes both operational challenges such as decreasing hospital infection rates and strategic issues such as remuneration philosophy for public sector clinicians and macro-economic healthcare financing considerations.

The main part of the gathering will be group dialogue about applying Fifth Discipline insights and related work to effective and productive functioning of the Biomedical Data Mining, Microarray, and other possible multidisciplinary Research Teams(MRTs)such as Text Mining, and Proteomics currently being incubated under BCIG. All are welcome to attend.
