Breaking down boundaries - bringing fresh perspectives to healthcare improvement

Can principles from design and the integration of technology help us improve quality and care for patients through better research? What boundaries are encountered when different disciplines are applied to finding innovative solutions to challenges in healthcare?

In this episode, host Kristina Wanyonyi-Kay is joined by Graham Pullin, Kurannen Baaki and Niels Peek to explore what taking a holistic approach to improving healthcare can look like. They discuss:

· How the design of a prosthetic limb can define its relationship with its wearer, and how they are seen by others

· The role facilities management can play in creating an efficient hospital workplace that improves patient outcomes

· Whether technologists underestimate the complexity of healthcare services and how we can take advantage of the opportunities that new technologies and data present
