The essential issues at the heart of software design are the same as those of running a team, department or service. It’s all sociotechnical system design. Also of great relevance to those doing QI. @MelanieWatts77 Luke O'Shea Dave Grewcock Ronnie


Like recipes, #qualitative "templates" provide analytic guidance & legitimation. AND they become constraining & dubious proxies for rigor over time. Virtuosos in their craft must transcend and complicate the step-wise rules. Great ideas for doing so here. journals.sagepub.com/toc/orma/25/2

Tom Lawson Our proof-of-concept research on developing icons - to complement lettering & colors - from our AHRQ patient safety learning lab. We are looking for collaborators to extend this work for a more comprehensive set of icons, and for implementation. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35717790/


.Kensaku Kawamoto proves that SMART Health IT innovation, CDS Hooks (can launch SMART on #FHIR Apps after certain actions in the EHR) is highly beneficial to workflow. Would love to see it more widely and robustly implemented. Josh Mandel, MD academic.oup.com/jamia/article/… AMIA
