Traditional system analysis and design approaches seem insufficient to model healthcare systems, given their complexity, the presence of uncertainty, and scale. To overcome these difficulties, a system-of-systems approach is adopted. In this paper, we present a methodological framework for modeling healthcare systems and devising strategies that improve the health level of a population. The problem is formulated as a nonlinear programming model in which the objective is to optimize the population's health level, appropriately defined, by taking into account several constraints. The resulting policies could improve the sustainability of healthcare systems, and, consequently, the well-being of people and the overall sustainability of corresponding countries.
