Implementing an online pharmaceutical service using design science research

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is pressing health systems to introduce reforms. Primary healthcare and multidisciplinary models have been suggested as approaches to deal with this challenge, with new roles for nurses and pharmacists being advocated. More recently, implementing healthcare based on information systems and technologies (e.g. eHealth) has been proposed as a way to improve health services. However, implementing online pharmaceutical services, including their adoption by pharmacists and patients, is still an open research question. In this paper we present ePharmacare, a new online pharmaceutical service implemented using Design Science Research.

Read the Principles — Design Justice Network

Design mediates so much of our realities and has tremendous impact on our lives, yet very few of us participate in design processes. In particular, the people who are most adversely affected by design decisions — about visual culture, new technologies, the planning of our communities, or the structure of our political and economic systems — tend to have the least influence on those decisions and how they are made.

We need to talk about the social graph - Philip Sheldrake

Concepts are the fundamental building blocks of thinking, of designing. While there are plenty of things in the mix when it comes to contemplating system design, if the primary concepts remain unchallenged and unchanged from what came before, then the outcome will likely look very familiar.

Laws of Software Engineering

A collection of principles and patterns that shape software systems, teams, and decisions.

Advancing Systems Analysis Program

ASA advances systems analysis as a meta-level approach to understand and govern complex socio-environmental systems. The overall objective is to increase realism, relevance, and agility of systems analysis. How? By harvesting new opportunities provided, in particular, by • New sources of data and methods to convert data into knowledge • Novel modelling approaches and underlying theories enabled by increased computational capabilities • Innovation through transfer of methods across disciplines and expansion of system boundaries • Continuous horizon scanning to identify novel matches between methodologies and applications across all thematic areas of IIASA • Enhanced transdisciplinary research

Design Systems vs. Style Guides

Design systems are a set of standards (like Google’s Material Design or IBM’s Carbon Design System) needed to manage design at scale. Style guides (like content or visual style guides) are just one piece in a design system.

Designs for the pluriverse: radical interdependence, autonomy, and the making of worlds

"Arturo Escobar presents a new vision of design theory by arguing for the creation of what he calls 'autonomous design'--a design practice aimed at channeling design's world-making capacity toward ways of being and doing that are deeply attuned to justice and the Earth"--Publisher description
