Integrating Evidence-Based Design and Experience-Based Approaches in Healthcare Service Design

An 18-month project, funded by the Health and Care Infrastructure Research and Innovation Centre (HaCIRIC), examined PBC frameworks in England, investigating the impact of different models of governance on the development of service redesign proposals to answer the following questions: How do clinicians interpret the multiplicity of guidance from government agencies and translate this into knowledge that can be effectively used to redesign patient care pathways aligned with local healthcare priorities? How can understanding patient and staff "experiences" and key "touch points" of interaction with local healthcare services be used to provide a creative, customized solution to the design of healthcare services in a local, community-based framework?
