Design Thinking in Nursing Education to Improve Care for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex and Two-Spirit People

Abstract

Design thinking methodology is a collaborative strategy with the potential to create innovations. Design thinking is being used increasingly in health care. Design jams are interdisciplinary events that bring together experts and community members to collaborate on creative solutions to health-care problems. This article describes the design thinking process and includes reflection on the authors' participation in a design jam event aimed to address the knowledge-to-action gap that exists in health care for (LGBTQI2S) people.
