Student-run clinics are settings in which learners are empowered to design service delivery. Despite shared challenges faced by these clinics in improving clinical and educational programming, information exchange and collaboration between clinics of different institutions and professions are inefficiently facilitated by existing platforms. An abridged, one-hour hackathon event was piloted at the Society of Student-Run Free Clinics' 2018 Annual Conference. During the event, interprofessional teams were guided through defining a problem, ideating and prototyping possible solutions, and sharing them with the larger group. There were 23 participants representing 16 institutions and 5 professions; most had never discussed their clinic's problems with members of other institutions before. Teams generated novel ideas that culminated from a combination of existing local best practices or focused on developing infrastructure between clinics. Feedback of the event was positive; participants felt confident to design and implement solutions and collaborate with other clinics after the event. The abridged hackathon shows promise to facilitate communication and innovation among diverse groups across institutions.
学生经营的诊所是学习者能够设计服务提供的场所。尽管这些诊所都面临着提高临床和教育项目的共同挑战，但现有的平台却无法有效地促进不同机构和专业之间的信息交流和合作。在 2018 年学生经营的免费诊所协会年会上，试点了一个时长为一个小时的简化黑客马拉松活动。在活动中，跨专业团队被引导着去定义问题、构思和制作可能的解决方案，并与更大的群体分享。有 23 名参与者代表 16 个机构和 5 个专业；其中大多数人以前从未与其他机构的成员讨论过他们诊所的问题。团队提出了一些新颖的想法，这些想法源自于现有当地最佳实践的结合，或者专注于在诊所之间发展基础设施。活动的反馈是积极的；参与者在活动后有信心设计和实施解决方案，并与其他诊所合作。缩短的黑客马拉松活动有望促进不同机构之间的跨群体沟通和创新。
