SYSTEMS DESIGN FOR AIRPORT HEALTH MANAGEMENT

Health care at many major airports can best be described as a nonsystem which is skimpy, absent, or chaotic. A cybernetic matrix is created to interrelate the emerging concept of airport health with functional needs and organizations. All resources are integrated into a managerial design to form a feedback-oriented structure to solve airport health problems. Comprehensive health planning would be generated through a constituent-based airport health authority board (AHAB). Traditional airport industrial and private medical practice would function separately and participate intensively as members of the AHAB in joint planning responsiveness. This management design assures provision of comprehensive health services where jurisdiction and responsibility have not been clear in the past.
