This practical guide serves as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals seeking to apply design methods to improve healthcare delivery. Healthcare by Design presents a practical, step-by-step guide for healthcare professionals seeking to address challenges such as regulation, safety, complexity, and culture, which affect patients and families, clinicians, and healthcare organizations.
Written by experienced design professionals with specific expertise in healthcare, Barry Katz, Simon Mawer, Kara Harrington, Rob Lister, Schirin Lucie Richter, and Svava Maria Atladóttir, the book draws upon recent developments in design theory and extensive industry experience. Understanding that design is as much about mindsets as methods, it provides practitioners with tools that will guide changemakers in ways to frame questions and identify opportunities, build teams, and create institutional support, and to scale their solutions throughout their respective organizations.
