Introduction

This paper is principally a critical analysis of two articles, based upon issues in healthcare services. There are four measures, which are needed to be catered in this essay. Both the articles are based upon similar topic, however, have different content and research. First article is named as “The Challenge of Complexity in Healthcare”; whereas; the other article is named as “Complexity, Leadership and Management in Healthcare Organizations”. Both the articles are retrieved from BMJ.

First, I will discuss the article “The Challenge of Complexity in Healthcare”, which is written by Paul E. Plesk and Trisha Greenhalgh. In the second part of this essay, I will elucidate upon “Complexity, Leadership and Management in Healthcare Organizations”, written by Tim Wilson and Paul E. Plesk.
