Improvement by Design: Using the Sci. of Design, Test, and Spread to Innovate and Improve Healthcare
HPM 576
Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
This course focuses on the practical application of human-centered design and implementation science methodologies to improve healthcare systems by defining and closing know-do gaps, which represent the difference between what we know should be done based on evidence and what takes place in practice. Over the four-module course, participants will select a know-do gap to address and design, prototype, and test a proposed solution (tool or evidence-based practice change) and a plan for scale and spread. This will culminate in a final project, which can be brought back to their home organization and put into action.
