A design approach to achieve successful adoption of GoMedFlow in a hospital context

Digitalisation is becoming increasingly important in discharging the healthcare sector as our society ages, and long-term treatments of chronically ill patients are becoming necessary. However, adopting digital tools has not been smooth due to individual, organisational, and technical barriers. To overcome these barriers, a user-centred approach, co-creation, improved communication, and the involvement of the right stakeholders could help smooth the transition.

The GoMedFlow concept tool is a digital tool for healthcare professionals and organisational employees of the Reinier de Graaf Gasthuis that aims to improve the workflow of care processes and stimulate the use of digital tools. By creating a clear overview of care paths, improvements and digital tools can easily be noticed and implemented.
