How to benefit from design thinking

In NEJM Catalyst, Amy Compton-Phillips, M.D., and Namita Seth Mohta, M.D., look at how healthcare organizations can best benefit from design thinking. Among their observations:

“NEJM Catalyst Insights Council members say the top organizational issues that would benefit most from design thinking are workflow, for staff and patients alike, and patient-facing activities such as scheduling appointments. In written responses, survey respondents single out scheduling as a poorly designed aspect of care delivery, citing issues with skills of centralized schedulers, the need for provider input on scheduling, and an abundance of inefficiency. More executives (41%) and clinicians (39%) than clinical leaders (29%) rank patient adherence/compliance with therapy among the issues that would benefit most from design thinking approaches.”
