Feedback Loops

       Feedback groups are made of people, but this unique feedback group is an automated system designed to initiate a phone conversation with patients and ask for their feedback on visit they had to the health care organization they visited. With this system, health care organization can improve their services based on patients’ recommendations. Feedback Loops can improve or diminish changes in a system. According to Carleton College, “positive feedback loops enhance or amplify changes; this tends to move a system away from its equilibrium state and make it more unstable. Negative feedback loops tend to dampen or buffer changes; this tends to hold system to some equilibrium state making it more stable” (2012, para.1). 

       Feedback loop is the system arrangement that creates output from one point to ultimately influence input to that point. For instance, the work output of people can increase the services that are available to those people, which can increase the expectancy of life, also increasing more people, which can increase work output even more. Then, the loop will start over again.
