Service Design Research. This list represents a summary of the past thirty years of service design literature.

Service Design Research

The citations were compiled from the Emergence conference at Carnegie Mellon University as well as the Designing for Services project in the UK, service design syllabi at CMU and individual research. I've excerpted the abstracts and introductions to the papers and cross-referenced examples and concepts so that it's easy to follow the development of ideas such as "service blueprinting" across multiple papers. Select any underlined term to filter the list, showing only papers that share that particular concept, example, author, journal or decade. If you'd like to help fill in the gaps by suggesting other canonical papers, e-mail the citations to service@howardesign.com . Examples: H&R Block, McDonalds, Walt Disney, Corner Shoeshine, Discount Brokerage. Out of Balance Competition Launches. Humantific is delighted to announce our international competition collaboration with Magazine ARCH+ and Bauhaus Dessau Foundation.

Renowned for its innovative and effective treatments and advancements in outside-the-box medical thinking, practices, and research, the Mayo Clinic consistently leads in quality standard listings. For more than two decades it's topped the annual U.S. The Mayo Clinic is not only a great place for patients; it is also a terrific place to work. Several readers have asked me how they can really hone their leadership style, so I went to the best. Top five regrets of the dying. There was no mention of more sex or bungee jumps.

Top five regrets of the dying

A palliative nurse who has counselled the dying in their last days has revealed the most common regrets we have at the end of our lives. And among the top, from men in particular, is 'I wish I hadn't worked so hard'. Bronnie Ware is an Australian nurse who spent several years working in palliative care, caring for patients in the last 12 weeks of their lives. She recorded their dying epiphanies in a blog called Inspiration and Chai, which gathered so much attention that she put her observations into a book called The Top Five Regrets of the Dying.

Medical Innovation in the Changing Healthcare Marketplace: Conference Summary. How (not) to be a good patient. The Term “Patient” May Describe Me … But It Does Not Define Me. Editor’s Note: Recently, I had the privilege of being part of a very stimulating email thread on the Society of Participatory Medicine’s member-only list about the meaning of the word “patient” and what it implied for the field of Participatory Medicine.

The Term “Patient” May Describe Me … But It Does Not Define Me

I invited several of the participants in this “conversation” to submit their ideas to the Journal to be published in the Commentary section. This excellent piece on whether we should consider changing the term “patient” is the first one I have received. I appreciate Mr. Scott’s perspective. I view the patient care arena a little like a battlefield, which the doctor and patient need to approach with their senses activated to give the encounter their best effort. Abstract.

Complexity Science

Patel, M.D., Thoralf M. Sundt III, M.D., and Prathibha Varkey, M.D. Abstract Complexity science is a useful construct for physicians trying to cope with the escalating sophistication of health care and pressure to control costs. Providing high-quality, cost-efficient care to patients and their families is a complex endeavor. The Design Society - a worldwide community. What's New Published: Addressing user needs and preferences is critically important in developing innovative and successful engineered products and systems.

The Design Society - a worldwide community

The task is inherently challenging due to the heterogeneity of user needs and the difficulty of modeling human behavior. In addition, it remains a challenge to integrate user preferences with designer preferences in the process of engineering design. The past decade has seen a significant growth in user-focused design research that introduces principles from different domains, such as market research, economics, cognitive science, and social science.
