Hi all. Didn't see a place to suggest new links and resources, so I made one.

Gel Health Conference looks promising:
http://gelconference.com/health/
And the video of Bridget Duffy's talk at Gel, linked from the Gel Health front page, is pretty great.

On a different note, here's Jay Parkinson's effort, HelloHealth. I bring this up as a data point, an indicator of something bigger going on:

Marc - Incredible! The community is ahead of me. I've asked a few people to contribute already. I'll ask you and the whole group to contribute as well.
I think we'll need to add subpages to the Resources for each category, and I'm open to adding and modifying categories as needed, as designers or experts in those areas would want to frame them. I'll learn more this way as well.
Lou, I don't see where Ning has any permissions on page edits. Can you edit? I cannot change the default, so i hope so.

I don't see a way to edit it, but as admin, you may be able to turn this on. Or at least some sort of commenting so that people can add new resources as comments...

May I suggest also my "crowdsourcing" design challenge for diabetes, at www.diabetesmine.com/designcontest -- over 150 amazing submissions, including from MIT, Stanford, Northwestern U, etc.

No problem, I have made Marc an editor! The site was just so new I had not discovered all the mod features yet. I also know some members already, and scanned some s comments and made a few others editors, as a kind of social media "Easter egg." So if you can edit or add pages now, your role was changed to an editor (OK, check Members to see). If you want to edit, please contact me and we'll set something up.
Also, I am creating links pages based on category. I don't have to define all the pages and categories. So if you have some links you'd like to paste in, consider adding a page and naming it to fit an appropriate category. You'll see mecontinuing to add these pages and shuffle my current links out to those new pages. There's one for News & Research Articles now added to the main Resources page.

Thanks Maish - Do you have any article refs for Paul Tang's work? At first I thought this was Dr. Tang from Batya Friedman's original book on Values-Sensitive Design (Human Values and Design of Computer Technology, 1997). But that was John Tang. Interested in both ...
I will place these links in the Resources area. Please post and paste these within or as a comment to these pages if you can: http://designforcare.ning.com/page/resources-links Thanks!

Top 3 reading list:
The End of Medicine, Kessler or The Edge of Medicine, Hanson
The Patient Will See You Bow, Kriz
Understanding HealthCare, Wurman
Other worthy reads:
Atul Gawande's series (as mentioned previously)
How Doctors Think, Groopman
Mountains Beyond Mountains, Kidder
Set Phasers on Stun, Casey
Internal Bleeding, Wachter
Designing Care, Bohmer (mid-way thru, worthy read)
Annuals like Vital Signs by the WorldWatch Institute can be great for global statistics + trends.
And RSS your butt off...

How doctors think is definitely a good one.

Nate - Thanks, these are good titles. I did not see Bohmer's similarly named book coming, and it has been out for what, a week? It is a little misleading in its use of the verb Designing. Management studies are pushing intently to re-create their discipline as a designing profession. I guess that would mean they don't have to worry about making the numbers anymore.
So I will place these links, with others, under the Resources tab, where I am trying to locate them all. Although I am not sure of the topics for each. I think Mark's idea was to just get the problem solved about where to put these resources - and that was before I had even added it to the site! Now that I have built out a whole Resources area, I'm not seeing any contributions there yet.

I should have said thanks to Juhan for these good titles!

Juhan has single handedly ruined my plans of reading fiction at the beach this summer! :-)
I'll add one book to the list, but with a warning. Why Hospitals Should Fly: The Ultimate Flight Plan to Patient Safety and Quality Care, by John Nance.
John Nance is the guy we see being interviewed on TV after almost every airline disaster. It is a quick light read and a little corny to say the least. It is written as fiction from the account of a guilt ridden physician who visits a fictitious hospital, St. Michael's, that has fully adopted lessons from the airline industry and has turned every single hospital practice upside down. Others have used lessons learned from the airline industry for healthcare, but Nance takes it to the absolute limit. As our tortured main character tours the amazing St. Matthews, he meets nurses and doctors who spew an endless stream of jargon laden aerospace analogies and know more about airplanes than anyone you ever met. Despite the high level of cornball, Nance clearly presents many serious issues in the hospital, most cultural. Why is our hero so guilt ridden? What happened to him to lead him upon this personal quest for safety and quality? Read the book and find out!
On a completely different line, please check out the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology
http://www.cchit.org/
The site provides access to EHR certification criteria. I would argue that while these types of requirements lists can tally up functions they certainly cannot measure workflow, efficiency and quality of design. I guess it's a start?
