Overview
The hospital ecosystem relies on a network of interconnected subsystems including infrastructure and design, personnel (healthcare workers, staff and management), patient experience, supply chains, emergency preparedness and information systems, among others, to create an optimal environment for healthcare delivery. These subsystems are required to work together to create an environment of healing for patients, operational efficiency and wellbeing for healthcare workers as well as an environment best suited to deliver healthcare services.
Each subsystem forms a crucial role in ensuring that hospitals can effectively fulfil their mission of providing high-quality healthcare services. Yet, managing these subsystems requires continuous adaptation to meet present and future needs.
This report provides insights on the benefits of implementing human-centred design into healthcare strategies; provides practical examples of healthcare facilities that have implemented Human-centred design methodologies to improve the healthcare experience of patients, workers and hospital management; and gives a brief overview of how hospitals can be optimised for current and future purposes should we fully adopt human-centred design approaches to delivering healthcare services.
