OP 'Holistic' here refers to the term coined by Smuts:
http://www.britannica.com/ebi/article?eu=296834&query=jan smuts&ct="ebi"
Recognising the complexity and multicontextual nature of caring, academics provided 'models', a mental framework to act as a memory jogger. A guide for learners and a prompt for experienced staff. Hodges' model is one example of such tools. Hodges' model seeks to ensure 'holistic' practice by directing the nurse, doctor, (policy maker!) to consider the 'patient' as a whole person - not just a physically derived diagnosis.
Hodges' model provides four knowledge domains (listed above) which if called upon can (IMHO) encompass all human knowledge. The spiritual - often stated in the form of 'why' questions lies beyond the boundaries of these domains, but undoubtedly intersects them via concepts such as - love, faith, belief, ethics....
This suggests something much more than an 'holistic' tool - but what other word can be used?
As our problems get ever more complex, so too do the solutions. I am wondering if models (frameworks) such as Hodges' can help - especially if allied to *effective* info. comms & technologies?
Such an application may demand new terminology?
TIA
