Test Session PH211: Human-Centered Design Approach to COVID-19 PPE Challenges
November 15, 2022
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, health care organizations have had to wrestle with unreliable supply chains for personal protective equipment (PPE) and dynamic evolution of PPE best practices. Our human factors, innovation and project management teams — along with clinical experts and engineers — were asked to develop solutions to PPE challenges for frontline caregivers. The team designed, prototyped, manufactured and implemented PPE solutions that were developed by and for our staff using a human centered design approach. We will discuss two case studies: face shields and respiration filters.

Physician, Nurse, General CEU
