ACE Studios: Gresham Smith: Finding Links Between Population Health and the Built Environment - A Design Thinking Workshop
Date & Time
Wednesday, February 20, 2019, 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Description
Population health management is critical to the future of healthcare as the system transitions to value-based reimbursement and is heavily impacted by its highest utilizers. While the impact of the built environment on healthcare is well understood, its role in improving population health management remains unclear. This workshop will use Design Thinking to explore the links between population health management and the built environment.  Design Thinking  is a term that describes a creative brainstorming process that is human-centered, empathetic and focused on the people at the center of a problem to be solved. It is an effective method in understanding the needs and desires of end users to effectively grasp the core of an issue. By gaining a clear understanding of the core needs and desires of a client, design professionals are better able to create a solution that meets the requirements of the end user and therefore increase satisfaction with both the process and the end result. For this session, the design thinking process will allow participants to collaboratively brainstorm key drivers impacting population health management and identify links to the built environment.

 

 

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify key drivers impacting population health management.
  2. Understand the relevance of pop health management and how it relates to the built environment.
  3. Gain an appreciation for the design thinking process as a tool to gather descriptive information regarding population health management.
