Lack Of Physicians

Introduction: San Joaquin Valley (SJV) is the most underserved valley for health care with the lowest ratios of physicians for any region in California. For the last 40 years, SJV continues to face health inequity and disparities with not enough physicians to tend to the community. With a diverse community of low income and minority groups, the lack of physicians do not represent the workforce of SJV. Many of the talented youth who aspire to be physicians from SJV leave to bigger cities rather than coming back to enrich their vulnerable communities. Objectives: I created no cost pipeline medical programs (summer program, year long internships and online class) for SJV high school students to increase diversity in the medical profession, encourage underrepresented in medicine (URM) students to pursue medicine and come back to SJV to practice medicine in an effort to lower the patient provider gap. Methods: I trained and provided mentorship to medically ambitious low-income high school students in the programs to better understand SJV health inequity to instill a passion in them to come back after their medical education to practice medicine in SJV. Through the program, students learned about SJV health disparities and applied precision medicine to their own health inequity projects in SJV. Findings: -About 46% (33 of 72) of program participants were first generation -About 47% (34 of 72) of program participants identified as URM -About 65% (47 of 72) of program participants aspire to practice medicine in SJV -About 83% (60 of 72) of program participants feel that the pipeline program has helped them solidify their passion in medicine -About 100% (72 of 72) of program participants feel the program gave them guidance in health disparities, precision medicine, and applying design thinking concepts as a future leader in medicine Direct Outcomes: -Students were able to understanding community concerns beyond science and apply community activism through a precision medicine lens -Served as agents of change by directly communicating with physicians and understanding the need for more URM physicians -Students received mentorship and confidence to rise as first generation college students -Youth learned the value of service to disadvantaged communities

Project Risk Analysis

This paper describes the method of project risk analysis based on design thinking and explores the possibility of its application for industrial investment projects. Traditional and suggested approaches to project risk management have been compared. Several risk analysis artifacts have been added to the standard list of artifacts. An iterative procedure for the formation of risk analysis artifacts has been developed, with the purpose of integrating the risk management process into strategic and prompt decision-making during project management. A list of tools at each stage of design thinking for risk management within the framework of real investment projects has been proposed. The suggested technology helps to determine project objectives and content and adapt them in regards to possible; as well as to implement measures aimed at reducing these risks, to increase productivity of the existing risk assessment and risk management tools, to organize effective cooperation between project team members, and to promote accumulation of knowledge about the project during its development and implementation.The authors declare no conflict of interest.

The Impact

The value delivered by design thinking is almost always seen to be improvements in the creativity and usefulness of the solutions produced. This paper takes a broader view of the potential power of design thinking, highlighting its role as a social technology for enhancing the productivity of conversations for change across difference. Examined through this lens, design thinking can be observed to aid diverse sets of stakeholders’ abilities to work together to both produce higher order, more innovative solutions and to implement them more successfully. In this way, it acts as a facilitator of the processes of collectives, by enhancing their ability to learn, align and change together. This paper draws on both the author’s extensive field research on the use of design thinking in social sector organizations, as well as on the literature of complex social systems, to discuss implications for both practitioners and scholars interested in assessing the impact of design thinking on organizational performance.

Human Centred Design

Design thinking and human-centred design is often discussed and utilised by teams and organisations seeking to develop more optimal, effective or innovative solutions for better customer outcomes. In the healthcare sector the opportunity presented by the practice of human-centred design and design thinking in the pursuit of better patient outcomes is a natural alignment. However, healthcare challenges often involve complex problem sets, many stakeholders, large systems and actors that resist change. High-levels of investment and risk aversion results in the status quo of traditional technology-led processes and analytical decision-making dominating product and strategy development. In this case study we present the opportunities, challenges and benefits that including a design-led approach in developing complex healthcare technology can bring. Drawing on interviews with participants and reflections from the project team, we explore and articulate the key learning from using a design-led approach. In particular we discuss how design-led practices that place patients at the heart of technology development facilitated the project team in aligning key stakeholders, unearthing critical system considerations, and identifying product and sector-wide opportunities.
