They assert that interprofessional communication is influenced not only by two individuals in communication with one another, but also by the social networks of which each is a part. The authors focus on the non-linear processes involved in communication between professionals and units when transferring a patient. Incorporating the theories of complexity sciences into research on communication networks could increase the applicability to healthcare organizations. Recognizing the complex nature and influence of social networks within an organization will assist the nurse leaders in our case study formulate solutions for the non-linear challenges they face.

We often have complex systems but not complex adaptive systems.
