Economic Stimulus – Designers Step Up!
Thursday, March 26th, 2009
The massive investment we are making via the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act presents an ideal opportunity for the design community to demonstrate the value of technical design in numerous disciplines. It is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to demonstrate the national importance of broader design thinking. We need to step up!
I took a run at that in an earlier post showing how we can use cognitive design to get the most out of the $19B being invested in electronic medical records. Obviously only a tiny part of what designers can do for the overall stimulus. I did receive some very good feedback, thank you.
In response to some of the feedback I have created a 10-slide overview of EMR 2.0, the cognitive redesign I am proposing for electronic medical record software.
Let me know what you think.
