Abstract

Choosing the appropriate design process is critical for the effective implementation and long-term sustainment of interventions aimed at addressing public health challenges. To address this need, we proposed a Transition Design model to identify and deliver sustainable solutions for complex healthcare problems. This model generatesÂ system-levelÂ health-intervention initiatives that can synergistically function, particularly during the development and implementation phases, to enhance healthcare delivery. Drawing from a case study on addressing the challenges of hospitalisations and early discharge for people with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), we reflected on the process and analysed the outcomes. Although further testing for the initiatives is warranted, this study contributes to the evolving discourse in design research on systems solutioning for public-health challenges.

过渡设计：共同创造慢性阻塞性肺病（COPD）护理的系统解决方案

选择适当的设计过程对于有效实施和长期维持旨在应对公共卫生挑战的干预措施至关重要。为了满足这一需求，我们提出了一个过渡设计模型，用于识别和交付复杂医疗保健问题的可持续解决方案。这种模式generatesÂ system-levelÂ健康干预举措能够协同发挥作用，特别是在发展和实施阶段，以加强保健服务。从解决慢性阻塞性肺疾病急性加重（AECOPD）患者住院和早期出院挑战的案例研究中，我们反思了这一过程并分析了结果。尽管对这些举措的进一步测试是必要的，但本研究有助于在公共卫生挑战的系统解决方案的设计研究中不断发展的话语。

期刊介绍： Design Studies is a leading international academic journal focused on developing understanding of design processes. It studies design activity across all domains of application, including engineering and product design, architectural and urban design, computer artefacts and systems design. It therefore provides an interdisciplinary forum for the analysis, development and discussion of fundamental aspects of design activity, from cognition and methodology to values and philosophy. Design Studies publishes work that is concerned with the process of designing, and is relevant to a broad audience of researchers, teachers and practitioners. We welcome original, scientific and scholarly research papers reporting studies concerned with the process of designing in all its many fields, or furthering the development and application of new knowledge relating to design process. Papers should be written to be intelligible and pertinent to a wide range of readership across different design domains. To be relevant for this journal, a paper has to offer something that gives new insight into or knowledge about the design process, or assists new development of the processes of designing.
