2019 Healthcare Design Expo and Conference

E47 - Applying Design Research to Healthcare Transformation: What We Know, Think We Know, Need to Know and How to Use It (Room 229-230)

04 Nov 19

Tracks: Transformation and Innovation

This presentation explores how design research and innovative design can support close and continued collaboration between decision-makers in the built environment, technology, and care delivery that leads to measurable improvements in patient outcomes. Presenters will share recent projects in primary care and brain health to explore how designers and design researchers use research and shared goals to transform the way care is delivered. Recent collaborations help address continuing cost and revenue pressures, respond to chronic disease and wellness, create empowered relationships with patients, understand the roles of new competitors, and embrace mobile technology and data analytics. These have important implications for design, design process, and research.
