Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to outline a hierarchic systems theory approach as a framework for patient-focused evaluation in nursing and other health care areas. Such a framework allows for complex features of processes in health care to appear by simultaneous analyses of relationships on different levels and with different methods. In nursing and caring research mostly a "one- level" design has been employed. |
