The medical literature shows that social determinants of health have a significant impact upon health outcomes. However, health professionals often lack the skills to address these determinants at the systems-level. Therefore, we developed a Design Thinking workshop to teach about health-related social needs and to practice designing person-centered solutions. We piloted the workshop with 53 medical and physician assistant students; 69.8% responded to the post-workshop questionnaire. Nearly 80% of students agreed the workshop helped them understand the effect of context on clinical outcomes and demonstrated how to design patient-centered solutions. However, only 50% of respondents anticipated using the Design Thinking methods in their future practice. We need to identify more effective ways to demonstrate the practical application of Design Thinking to clinical work settings.
医学文献表明，健康的社会决定因素对健康结果有重大影响。然而，卫生专业人员往往缺乏在系统层面解决这些决定因素的技能。因此，我们开发了一个设计思维研讨会，以教授与健康相关的社会需求，并练习设计以人为本的解决方案。我们用 53 名医学生和医师助理学生对该研讨会进行了试点；69.8%的人对课后问卷调查做出了回应。近 80%的学生同意研讨会帮助他们理解了背景对临床结果的影响，并展示了如何设计以患者为中心的解决方案。然而，只有 50%的受访者预计在未来的实践中使用设计思维方法。我们需要找到更有效的方法来展示设计思维在临床工作环境中的实际应用。
