![]() We designed a hypothetic complex networks environment of rural healthcare system with participants (Nodes=200), connectivity (K=15, means the average number of edges connected to a node), and ß=0.15 which indicates the possibility of connection of each participant. ![]() ![]() Method: This study simulated and analyzed the characteristics of Complex networks system in rural area of China by introducing the Small world and Community structure theories from System Science. We introduced the Complex networks theory into this area and try to build a new analysis aspect for future study of integrated healthcare researches. However, the traditional models and methods for healthcare system analysis usually not enough to elaborate the specific networkss among all of participants in this system and to monitor the changing of the overall networkss. Multiple researches in this area indicates the healthcare system in rural area is suffering from lacking integrated networkss not only among healthcare institutions, but also among all the participants from different interest related parties, this current situation causes numerous issues in rural healthcare system including huge waste of healthcare resources, overuse and misuse of medication between different tiered institutions and gaps of medical information transferring and sharing during the referral processes, etc. Introduction: The three tiered healthcare networks(county, township and village) in rural area of China undertakes health service needs of 0.8 billion rural residents.
