Does creativity help physicians care for their patients? Can making space for stories improve healthcare? How does imagination come into play in the practice of Medicine? Jay Baruch is a Professor of Emergency Medicine at Alpert Medical School of Brown University, where he directs the Medical Humanities and Bioethics Scholarly Concentration. He's a practicing ER doc, writer and educator. His upcoming book of non-fiction, narrative essays is: Tornado of Life: A Doctor's Journey through Constraints and Creativity in the ER (MIT Press, fall 2022) He is also the author of two award-winning short fiction collections, "What's Left Out" and and "Fourteen Stories: Doctors, Patients, and Other Strangers" (Kent State University Press, 2007). His academic work emerged as a response to the realization that medical training didn't prepare him for the complexity, uncertainty, and ambiguity that pervades patient care. His teaching involves interdisciplinary collaborations and pushing boundaries with people who hold different expertise and ways of looking at the world. His innovative collaborators have included brilliant museum educators, designers, and artists. Past honors include Director-at-Large, American Society for Bioethics and Humanities, the medical humanities section chair for the American College of Emergency Physicians, and faculty fellow at the Cogut Institute for the Humanities at Brown University. He received the inaugural Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Gold Humanism Award and the Brown Emergency Medicine, Innovations in Education Award. His current work focuses on arts and health and designing authentic spaces for fostering difficult conversations. Episode Mentions: Jay Baruch, MD.

How can better designed healthcare tools decrease clinician burnout? Why does the EHR suck so bad? What are ways to improve data visualization in the medical record? As a hospitalist and Associate CMIO at Penn Medicine, Dr. Subha Airan-Javia recognized the daily challenges clinicians faced due to inefficient workflows and poorly designed technology. Knowing there was a better way she decided to pursue a career in clinical informatics instead of cardiology and critical care medicine. Subha also has a passion for how to improve communication between teams in medicine. She developed Penn Medicine's handoff training curriculum for students and trainees, as well as developed a curriculum to teach medical students how to incorporate technology into clinical care in a way that improves patient encounters instead of detracting from them. Over the next 15 years as faculty at Penn Medicine, Subha worked to bridge the gap between front line clinicians and the development of health technology. In that work, she and her team created CareAlign, a care team collaboration platform to help teams of clinicians work together to take better, more efficient care of patients. Seeing how CareAlign revolutionized clinical workflows at Penn, Subha knew the platform could bring the same value to other institutions – which is how CareAlign the company, came to be. She spun the platform out of Penn Medicine, and now works to bring care team collaboration to other health systems and care settings. With a driving mission of making it easier for clinicians to do the right thing for patients, Subha believes technology should facilitate healthcare delivery instead of making it harder.  Follow Subha: Twitter | LinkedIn Episode Website: https://mailchi.mp/designlabpod/subhaairanjavia More episode sources & links Sign-up for Design Lab Podcast's Newsletter Newsletter Archive Follow @DesignLabPod on Twitter Instagram and LinkedIn Follow @BonKu on Twitter & Instagram Check out the Health Design Lab Production by Robert Pugliese Cover Design by Eden Lew Theme song by Emmanuel Houston
