Human-Centered Design Lessons for Implementation Science: Improving the Implementation of a Patient-Centered Care Intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence-based HIV interventions often fail to reach anticipated impact due to insufficient utilization in real-world health systems. Human-centered design (HCD) represents a novel approach in tailoring innovations to fit end-users, narrowing the gap between efficacious interventions and impact at scale.

Methods

We combined a narrative literature review of HCD in HIV programs with our experience using HCD to redesign an intervention promoting patient-centered care (PCC) practices among health care workers (HCW) in Zambia. We summarize the use and results of HCD in the global HIV response and share case study insights to advance conceptualization of HCD applications.

Results

The literature review identified 13 articles (representing 7 studies) on the use of
