Communities' structural parts form the subsystems, each of which is in itself a system.Health agencies, schools, fire departments, and governmental bodies are examples of structural parts.As it applies to this case, structural parts of a community form subsystems within a larger supra system.A substance abuse unit of a local VA hospital is a subsystem of a larger system (the VA hospital and family of hospitals).The structure of a community system or subsystem forms a formal or informal arrangement of parts.As a result, because interviewing is a form of assessment, the nurse in this example is assessing the subsystem (substance abuse unit of a local VA hospital) of a community (the VA hospital and family of hospitals).
