Healthcare Innovation by Design

joeheinowski:

PROTOTYPING - Improve solutions before they are realized.

A HUMAN CENTERD collaborative process is the key to transforming any product, service or environment in to an ideal experience. One key component of that process is Prototyping. If done well it aligns people place and services into optimal solutions.

Leading healthcare providers know the value of DESIGN and make it part of their day to day culture. One such provider is Kaiser Permanente. At the Garfield Health Care Innovation Center in San Leandro California, teams work together with design process leaders to create and take ownership of healthcare innovation.

Prototyping supports:

Understand and observe potential users in action in the real world

Visualize new solutions, particularly through rapid scenario development

“Step by step the longest march can be won, can be won Many stones can form an arch, singly none, singly none And by union what we will can be accomplished still Drops of water turn a mill, singly none, singly none. “
