Out of Balance Competition Launches
Humantific is delighted to announce our international competition collaboration with Magazine ARCH+ and Bauhaus Dessau Foundation. OUT OF BALANCE - CRITIQUE OF THE PRESENT Information Design after Otto Neurath Prize Money: 20,000 Euros Sponsors: Autodesk, Humantific, M:AI Museum für Architektur und Ingenieurkunst The Topic“1. Cities have always been the sites of migrants’ hopes for survival and the improvement of their situations, but they are also sites of organized defensiveness, inequality, and exclusion. In the 21st century, for the first time in the history of humankind, more people live in cities than in rural environments, with unpredictable and initially catastrophic consequences for both rural and urban areas. We live in a time that must be newly surveyed – in social terms and as the basis for a new societal consensus. “2. A situation arises in which political activity is not empirically verifiable and is dissolved in politically exploitable contradictions. Students in both areas.
Service Design Research
This list represents a summary of the past thirty years of service design literature. 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 .

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. 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 What’s in a Name? Changing what we call things can be important–even liberating. A colleague of mine changed his surname recently, from Smith to something less common. Why? Redefining the Provider-Patient Relationship The surgeon was not very awake at all. Reference
Complexity Science
February 2008 | Back to Table of Contents Complexity Science Core Concepts and Applications for Medical Practice By Ashok M. 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 partnership between patients and their physicians remains the centerpiece for ensuring that individuals get the most accurate information and best care possible.3 Increasingly, the physician’s role in the relationship is to be a coordinator of care: to organize and mobilize appropriate resources including physiologic data, medications, devices, and the services of nurses, therapists, and allied health professionals. The science of complexity may be a helpful construct for understanding some of these dynamics of medical practice. 1. 2. 3. 4.
