Congratulations to Nicole May for this well-deserved shout-out! We enjoyed collaborating with you and UC San Diego Health on this important project!

Today is #WorldPatientSafetyDay, with a focus on maternal and newborn safety in 2021. We can work together to design health services and products that are safe and reduce patient harm.

We were incredibly privileged to work alongside Canadian Veterans to ensure their experiences guide the design of tools meant for them. At Healthcare Human Factors it is always "with them, for them". Athina Elena

Helping hospitals to cope with the strain of increased patient volumes is a challenge beyond COVID-19. We worked with University Health Network to evaluate mobile units by Fero International Inc. to help ensure that, should they be needed, safety & quality of care would not be compromised. bit.ly/3vjNwJl

Congratulations to our close colleagues on their new chapter!

HHF collaborated with Dr. Katie Birnie + #PartneringforPain to better understand the lived experience of youth with chronic post-surgical pain and to design a service where their pain could be better supported and managed. Read about our #ServiceDesign process: bit.ly/3xSZmv1

Congratulations to Drs. Heather Ross and Joseph Cafazzo, named joint Inventors of the Year for revolutionizing cardiac care through Medly for Heart Failure, a digital health solution for heart care and the basis of @UHNTDC1 new venture Medly Therapeutics. Read more > bit.ly/3BcIbpX

Thank you to our Toronto partners at @technainstitute for the collaboration in digital health to impove care of patients across UC San Diego Health and University Health Network! 🍁 🇨🇦

What a pleasure it was to celebrate the The Center for Health Innovation at UC San Diego Health. Wonderful speakers and conversations. Thanks for allowing us to be part of your journey and we are looking forward to continuing to innovate together! sandiegouniontribune.com/news/health/st…

I am so incredibly proud of Camila for representing our Caretown portfolio Centre for Digital Therapeutics and placing FIRST in the KITE Research Institute Power Play Innovative Concept Competition!!! She brought our work on shared digital health care to the big stage! All hail Queen Camila! 🫅🦾💞 #ICAIR2023

HHF is turning 20! As we celebrate our first 20 years, we reflect on how we have evolved in tandem with massive changes in the healthcare system. We’ve set standards in what was once a new field, and we continue to find new ways of solving complex problems. #HHF20

When we started our design practice, design in healthcare was nowhere near as ubiquitous as it is today. As we turn 20, we reflect on how far we've come, the value we hold for the healthcare system, and how HHF will continue to impact people's lives. bit.ly/4675gsc

Because CVD symptoms often present differently in women than men, women are more likely to delay seeking care for heart pain. We worked with Monica Parry to design at heart: an app that empowers women to manage their heart disease and seek timely care. bit.ly/46tNzmP

HHF attracts a special group of people who share the goal of improving healthcare experiences. This was abundantly clear when we gathered some of these amazing people together to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We're excited for what comes next - here’s to another 20! #HHF20

At HHF we put people at the centre of everything we do, and it is the people of our diverse and committed team that make this possible. Hear more about what makes HHF such a special place to work, grow, and inspire change from within the healthcare system. youtu.be/V0xV7RmBAXc

When we think about healthcare harm what comes to mind is that it's preventable if we design a system that meets the needs of patients. Our human-centred approach considers how people operate within a complex system. bit.ly/3Ys2Vov Healthcare Excellence Canada #CPSW2024

It’s #CPSW2024! We have been proudly leading patient safety initiatives for 20 years. Today we’re looking back at a past human factors evaluation in which we identified the cause of near misses in the NICU to prevent harm to our most vulnerable patients.  bit.ly/3UmQDN2

Harm can take many forms. The healthcare system often leaves out people who face barriers to accessing care that meets their complex needs. To design a model of care for a diverse population, we needed to deeply understand them: bit.ly/4hoVwij #CPSW2024 #patientsafety
