Design thinking methodology is a collaborative strategy with the potential to create innovations. Design thinking is being used increasingly in health care. Design jams are interdisciplinary events that bring together experts and community members to collaborate on creative solutions to health-care problems. This article describes the design thinking process and includes reflection on the authors' participation in a design jam event aimed to address the knowledge-to-action gap that exists in health care for (LGBTQI2S) people.

The rural Kumiai community of San Antonio Necua is one of the few remaining indigenous communities in Baja California, Mexico. Necuan health and health care problems are best understood through a consideration of the effects of colonialism and marginalization on indigenous groups in northern Baja California as well as a tradition of medical pluralism in Mexico. The lack of traditional healers and biomedical providers in the community, high rates of preventable or manageable illnesses, and a blend of biomedical, folk mestizo, and traditional indigenous beliefs about health and illness reflect current conditions of rural poverty and economic isolation. Descriptions of health and health care problems are based on ethnographic fieldwork among the Kumiai, their Paipai relatives, and their primary nongovernmental aid organization.

Optimization of the activities of medical organizations providing primary health care requires the development of new organizational and functional models. The introduction of new approaches to organizing the activities of medical organizations is primarily a step towards patients. The new model is a patient-oriented medical organization, the management of which is based on the use of a process-oriented approach and «lean» technologies. Since 2019, within the framework of the federal project «Development of a primary health care system,» a project has been launched to introduce the «New Model of a Medical Organization Providing Primary Health Care». The implementation of the project is scheduled for 2019-2024 inclusive. The creation and replication of the «new model» is planned for the participation of all subjects of the Russian Federation. The introduction of lean technology methods in the work of medical organizations has reduced the waiting time for doctors, optimized the burden on doctors, reduced the time for obtaining research results, streamlining the process of moving a patient within a medical organization. The creation of an effective quality management system in medical organizations is achieved through the phased implementation of lean-technology.
