Increasingly, complexity science concepts are informing health care design and practice. The present paper describes the implementation of early complexity science principles in a Complex Care Program with the aim of strengthening the provision of integrated care. Grounded in cybernetic network theory, Stafford Beers Viable Systems Model [1] provided the guiding principles for the programs redesign. The Viable Systems Model with its broadly applicable principles [1], is now the conceptual model of information management in the program. Beers framework has enabled a relatively small number of clinicians to coordinate care for a large cohort of patients with significant clinical complexity, and a multitude of providers, in the community setting
