Training for our digital future: a human-centered design approach to graduate medical education for aspiring clinician-innovators

Jocelyn Carter et al. NPJ Digit Med. .

Abstract

In the current era of value-based healthcare with increasing emphasis on delivering higher quality care at lower costs, US healthcare innovation as a metric is at a premium. However, an implementation gap exists between technology-enabled innovations and patient-centered care secondary to a lack of formal training rooted in implementation science, healthcare operations, and clinical informatics for healthcare providers. We illustrate the application of human-centered design principles with focus on medical trainees as the end-user in a unique approach to developing clinician-innovators best suited to bridge the implementation gap.

Keywords: Health care; Health policy.
