This report argues for the need to center patient experience as the ultimate goal of health design and investment and aligning the interests of stakeholders to achieve this goal.
Design has been proven to lower cost of care delivery, improve outcomes, and lead to better patient and provider experiences. While design has demonstrated a strong ability to drive effective outcomes, it is still relatively new in its application in the health space. The WISH forum and report on design in health covers the following topic areas: describing models and methods of design; application of design to infectious disease, non-communicable disease, and access to care; and recommendations for implementing design.
