PHISICC used a multi-disciplinary approach that combines design thinking with rigorous quantitative and qualitative research to test if redesigned paper-based tools and processes impact decision making and health outcomes.
Ethnographic research focused in identifying the challenges of health information systems and how health workers use them. Design-led research was then used to put the responsibilities and needs of health workers at centre of the redesign process, in order to design a new system that is more efficient, accurate and responsive to health care needs but also more satisfactory and less burdensome for health care workers to use.
