transform input is
The five elements in a system include:
Input (Systems Theory)
Output (Systems Theory)
Evaluation (Systems Theory)
Small area analysis is appropriate to look
at data in a prescribed "small" area, such
as determining rates of hospital utilization at individual hospitals rather than
compiling that information into one statistical average, because there may be pro- nounced statistical differences that have
been overlooked. Small area analysis is
most often applied to epidemiologic data
and rates of hospital utilization. Outcomes assessment of large areas, such as counties or states, merges data
so that the results often reflect averages
that don't accurately reflect the reality in
small areas.
throughput • Input: This is what goes into a system in
terms of energy or materials. • Throughput: These are the actions that
take place in order to transform input. • Output: This is the result of the interrelationship between input and processes. • Evaluation: This is the process of monitoring success or failure. • Feedback: This is information that re- sults from the process and can be used
to evaluate the end result. This is what goes into a system in terms
of energy or materials. This is the result of the interrelationship
between input and processes. This is the process of monitoring success
or failure.

This is information that results from the
process and can be used to evaluate the
end result. Bertalanffy, systems theory, believed that
all of the elements of a system interact
in order to achieve goals, and change
in any one element will impact the other
elements and alter outcomes [Show Less]
