Intuitive Design: Make the Right Way the Only Way

As providers look to improve quality and reduce costs, standardization has become an important virtue within healthcare organizations. Medical manufacturers owe it to providers to design devices and products that assist in that effort.

If the healthcare industry can ensure that products are so intuitively designed that the right way — the safest way — is the only way to use the product,there's the potential for immeasurable positive impact on patient outcomes, costs, and satisfaction among both patients and providers.

In this white paper, we hope to initiate a conversation around the importance of intuitive design and encourage an industry culture that not only stresses the significance of engaging clinicians in the development of products, but also encourages caregivers to devise their own product ideas for the common good of their peers and patients around the world.
