Simulation modeling in health care has been touted as a solution to many problems, such as scheduling, wait times, or staffing. While researchers have argued for stakeholder involvement, few have described how to implement user-centered design (UCD) to develop, evaluate, and implement simulations for health care. In this paper, we explain how UCD t...

The COVID-19 pandemic led to a mass vaccination campaign that left health systems with little time to prepare. As a large health system, we were asked to deploy 1,000 COVID-19 vaccines in less than 26 days. We developed a vaccination clinic simulation to be able to accurately model patients coming in and out of our physical vaccination clinic. Rath...

We examined objective smartphone use (via a mobile sensing application) and self-reported desire to change phone use among a sample of 268 U.S. parents of infants. Using the Transtheoretical Stages of Change model as a conceptual foundation, we contextualized their attitudes and behaviors and explored how phone use and desire to change relate to pe...

This paper shares a case study of a rapid cycle of process improvement, physical simulation, and simulation software development to stand up a mass COVID-19 vaccination site. The resulting standard work, clinic setup and simulation software tool were designed and implemented by an interdisciplinary team at a moderate size not-for-profit health syst...

Health advocacy is a social phenomenon in which individuals and collectives attempt to raise awareness and change opinions and policies about health-related causes. Mental health advocacy is health advocacy to advance treatment, rights, and recognition of people living with a mental health condition. The Internet is reshaping how mental health advo...

The use of legal and illegal drugs has grown to such an acute level that it now represents a public health crisis in the United States. To support clinical treatments of substance use disorders (SUDs), formal non-clinical peer recovery support programs pairing coaches with people new to recovery are gaining in popularity. Using a user-centered desi...

Background: Every day, older adults living with heart failure make decisions regarding their health that may ultimately affect their disease trajectory. Experts describe these decisions as instances of naturalistic decision making influenced by the surrounding social and physical environment and involving shifting goals, high stakes, and the invol...

Personas can be used to understand patterns of variation in patients’ performance of cognitive work, particularly self-care decision making. In this study, we used a patient-centered cognitive task analysis (P-CTA) to develop self-care decision-making personas. We collected data from 24 older adults with chronic heart failure and 14 support persons...
