SUMMARY:R02 &#8211\; Harnessing Collective Genius in the Design Process: An Interactive Round Table Discussion
DESCRIPTION:At the heart of creating innovative healthcare environments is the foundational principle that innovation is born out of collective genius. Well-composed teams make better decisions\, solve complex problems\, and create solutions that serve a wider range of patients and users. Yet many organizations struggle to diversify teams and equip them with the skills to turn perspectives into inclusive design and better outcomes.\nThis interactive panel unleashes breaks open the “why” and “how” of embedding diversity in healthcare design teams through audience participation. Panelists\, leaders in healthcare design and organizational equity\, will guide attendees through exercises: mapping whose perspectives are missing in project teams\, and role-playing scenarios that surface unconscious and overt bias.\nAttendees will learn:\nWhy diversity matters: First-person stories reveal how mono-perspective teams miss critical design needs\, harming patient outcomes and staff well-being.\nHow to mitigate bias: Interactive prompts help participants recognize blind spots and practice techniques to call in\, not call out\, bias and microaggressions.\nWhat to do next: Attendees leave aware of how varied perspectives can yield more effective\, person-centered\, community-responsive healthcare environments.This session equips every participant with insights and tools to foster more inclusive\, bias-resistant design—ensuring our hospitals heal everyone\, by design.
