Current healthcare challenges are driving organizations in the sector – and their stakeholders – to reinvent themselves and envisage a future that breaks away from established practices. Various crises, changes in the population requiring care, economic and social difficulties, and the restructuring of healthcare teams make one thing clear: it is no longer possible to repeat the past.
Social Innovation Through Design in Healthcare 2 offers one way to respond to these challenges. This volume provides a cross-analysis of academic work and feedback from professionals involved in concrete projects carried out in hospital and medico-social settings. Through studies and testimonials from authors with varied backgrounds, it offers a structured reflection on the opportunities and challenges associated with integrating design methodologies into the organization of care and the management of institutions. It thus outlines a future for healthcare based on more inclusive, effective and sustainable models.
