About this session
Design thinking, a human-centered design method, represents a potent framework to support the planning, testing, and evaluation of new processes or programs in healthcare. As opposed to traditional education needs assessment, design thinking takes the next step (beyond the impact on learning) to explore, diagnose, and test how new interventions will impact actual patient care and workflow.
Andrew Petrosoniak, Chris Hicks, and Kari White from St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto will discuss how their team used design thinking to open a new emergency department. They employed end-user engagement and feedback to brainstorm and implement effective solutions to problems encountered before opening. The iterative steps and targeted use of simulation resulted in better designed departmental processes and actual clinical space while mitigating safety threats and departmental deficiencies.
Design thinking, coupled with simulation, can be applied to current healthcare system challenges such as COVID-19.
This session builds on this team’s recent publication in Simulation in Healthcare to achieve the following objectives:
- Contrast traditional educational needs assessment with design thinking “customer empathy”
- Apply the steps of design thinking to create simulation interventions that best meet “end-user” needs
- Describe “use cases” of high impact design thinking-informed simulation education and quality and safety interventions

Presenters
Kari White, RRT
Respiratory Therapist and Clinical Leader Manager
Unity Health Toronto
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Kari White is a Respiratory Therapist and Clinical Leader Manager – Respiratory Therapy and Anesthesia Assistants at Unity Health Toronto in Toronto. She is on track to complete her Masters of Science and Community Health with a focus on Health Professions Teaching and Education in September of 2020. She dedicates her time and energy to educating and developing high functioning teams – focusing on the individual, the team and the environment. Her recent research focus includes the use of rapid cycle deliberate practice in resuscitation training, and the use of human factors design thinking to the development and implementation of a pediatric airway management kit.
Christopher Hicks, MD
Emergency Physician, Trauma Team Leader, and Assistant Professor
Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Christopher Hicks is an emergency physician and trauma team leader in Toronto and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto. He has completed a Master of Education with a focus on simulation and human factors for the development of expert clinical team performance.
Recent research projects include stress inoculation training for high acuity events, the role of mental practice in team-based trauma resuscitation, and a collaboration with human factors engineers to identify process, logistical and personnel-based latent safety hazards in the trauma bay.
Andrew Petrosoniak, MD, MSc (MedEd), FRCPC
Emergency Physician & Trauma Team Leader
Lead, Translational Simulation & Clinical Integration
Associate Scientist, Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute
St. Michael’s Hospital
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Assistant Professor
University of Toronto
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Dr. Petrosoniak is an emergency physician and trauma team leader at St. Michael’s Hospital. He’s an assistant professor at the University of Toronto and an associate scientist at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute. He’s the lead for Translational Simulation & Clinical Integration at St. Michael’s Hospital. A role focused on using simulation to connect with patient outcomes and clinically relevant results. His research work focuses on using in situ simulation to improve patient safety and optimizing skill acquisition of rarely performed procedures. He also applies simulation to inform design within newly constructed clinical environments. He publishes and speaks regularly on using in situ simulation, healthcare design and trauma care.
