  1. IDND The Indianapolis Discovery Network in DementiaThe IDND Project Malaz Boustani, MD, MPH Stephanie Munger, BS IUCAR, Regenstrief Institute, Inc

  2. Sponsorship IDND • Pfizer: • Facilitates creating environment for brainstorming by the IDND members. • No honorarium for any IDND members including Dr. Boustani • No restriction on the content of IDND

  3. Members disciplines • MD • PhD • MHA • RN • MSN • PharmD • Others? IDND

  4. Complex Adaptive System (CAS) • A diverse system composed of multiple interconnected elements (COMPLEX) • An adaptive system capable of changing and learning from experience (ADAPTIVE). • The CAS term was coined at the interdisciplinary Santa Fe Institute (SFI), by John H. Holland, Murray Gell-Mann and others. • John H. Holland is one of the inventors of evolutionary computation and genetic algorithms. • Murray Gell-Mann is a Nobel Prize laureate. • The science of CAS is seeking the answers to some fundamental questions about living, adaptable, changeable systems. IDND

  5. CAS: John H. Holland IDND • “A dynamic network of many agents (which may represent cells, species, individuals, firms, nations) acting in parallel, constantly acting and reacting to what the other agents are doing. • The control of a CAS tends to be highly dispersed and decentralized. If there is to be any coherent behavior in the system, it has to arise from competition and cooperation among the agents themselves. • The overall behavior of the system is the result of a huge number of decisions made every moment by many individual agents.” Complexity: The Emerging Science at the Edge of Order and Chaos by M. Mitchell Waldrop)

  6. CAS: Kevin Dooley IDND • A CAS behaves/evolves according to three key principles: • Order is emergent as opposed to predetermined • The system's history is irreversible • The system's future is often unpredictable. • The basic building blocks of the CAS are agents. Agents scan their environment and develop schema representing interpretive and action rules. These schema are subject to change and evolution. K. Dooley, AZ State University

  7. CAS IDND • The CAS main features • emergence behavior • self-organization • Examples of complex adaptive systems: • stock market, • Weather forecasting • social insect and ant colonies, • the biosphere and the ecosystem, • the brain and the immune system, • the cell and the developing embryo, • Businesses • Any human social group-based endeavour in a cultural and social system such as political parties or communities.

  9. The Complex Adaptive Systemof IDND • A number of independent diversified Scholars • Common and prioritized goal/goals (the IDND identity) • Local nonlinear dynamic interaction among these scholars • The supportive Matrix for the IDND members’ interactions • Aligns IDND members’ interactions with the IDND goal via • Rich matrix • multiple dynamic positive feedback loops • No centralized control • Self-organization (distributed control). IDND

  10. Evaluating the Impact of IDND • Attendance rates of the IDND meeting • # of projects generated by the IDND members: • Clinical • Research • Advocacy activities • # of publication generated by the IDND members • # of educational activities generated by the IDND members • Involvement of IDND members with state health policy and community outreach activities related to AD and dementia? IDND

  11. The IDND Rules IDND • No rules • Pro-Active listening • Pro-Active involvement • Regular meeting bimonthly or monthly • Sharing the minutes with all IDND members. • Group feedback for any new idea • Self-organization
