Lived Experience in System Design

SUMMARY - Lived Experience in System Design

Those who use healthcare systems understand them differently than those who design or deliver them. Patient experience reveals what works and what doesn't in ways that professional expertise alone cannot. Incorporating lived experience into system design—involving patients, families, and communities in shaping healthcare—can produce services that better meet actual needs. But moving from token consultation to genuine partnership requires shifting power that systems often resist.
