Level Up: Accelerating the Role of Design in US Health Systems

How might we scale the impact of design in health systems?

The Equitable Healthcare Lab's 2024 report, "The Role of Design in US Health Systems," shed light on nine key areas where design is already making a significant impact. But what comes next? How do we push the boundaries and accelerate design’s impact across many diverse health systems?

Join the report authors, contributors, and other design leaders for a special day-and-a-half of exploration, discussion, and networking. Through keynotes, ignite-talks, and attendee-generated breakouts, we’ll dive deeper into these nine areas, examining how they take shape within different health systems. We’ll also explore the core principles of design leadership and organizational structures that elevate design’s impact and accelerate its integration into the health system.

What you will leave with:

  • Strategies to scale design’s impact in health systems

  • Fresh perspectives from design leadership in health systems

  • Concrete next steps for elevating design's role in your organization

  • A community of practice of fellow healthcare delivery designers and health system leaders

Why this matters now:

The healthcare landscape is evolving rapidly, and design has emerged as a crucial driver of patient-centered healthcare improvement. The Role of Design in US Health Systems report identified nine areas where design is already creating exceptional impact. Now is the time to take these insights to the next level.
