Input/Output - Systems Model (Betty Neuman)
System output; serves as a feedback for future input for corrective action to change, enhance, or stabilize the system
Feedback - Systems Model (Betty Neuman)
Process of energy conservation that increases organization & complexity moving the system toward stability
Negentrophy - Systems Model (Betty Neuman)
Dynamic & desirable state of balance in which energy exchanges can take place without disruption of the character of the system
Stability - Systems Model (Betty Neuman)
Consists of both internal & external forces surrounding the client
