BarnRaise 2015: Designing for Improved Access to Care

Cross-pollinating design and healthcare.

Access to quality healthcare is a universal issue. In Chicago, proper healthcare services are still inaccessible to many people. We invite healthcare practitioners, designers, health care administrators, graduate students, and beyond to participate. Together we will reexamine the patient user journey in the access to care space with this timely conversation and co-creation of human-centered opportunities for impact.

About BarnRaise

WHAT IS BARNRAISE, YOU ASK?

BarnRaise is a uniquely structured maker-conference that connects design firms, community-based organizations, and participants to address a social topic embedded in the Chicago community. Under the facilitation of a design firm, participants will work in multi-disciplinary teams to develop a user-centered understanding of a problem posed by a community organization and prototype viable solutions.

Each person involved in BarnRaise brings a valuable lens and skill set—as a whole we are stronger than the sum of our parts.

CONNECTING AND COLLABORATING

We seek to connect disparate ideas and points of view to push towards synergistic solutions and possibilities. In order for these solutions and possibilities to thrive, we seek to build and sustain an open, collaborative culture by breaking down silos and facilitating uncharted connections.

At this maker-conference we will encourage our participants, design firms and community partners to consider: what does a culture of change look and feel like at at the individual, organizational and community levels?

What WE do at the Institute of Design

As designers, we are connectors. We intend to understand and simplify the complexities of our everyday lives as well as translate them across different contexts in meaningful ways.

At the Institute of Design (ID) we believe that a room of multiple perspectives can catapult big change. BarnRaise embodies ID students’ values that design methods can impact our local community for the better.
