Patients’ medical decision-making represents a critical inflection point within healthcare systems. To help contextualise this deliberative process, clinicians, medical centres, and other researchers produce material artefacts—known as decision aids—that serve to shape outcomes in the system. This presentation will summarise findings from an analysis of the Cochrane Inventory and Mayo Clinic archive of decision aids and extrapolates two models: a model of the complexity of systems that surround clinician and patient at various points in the medical system and a model of the clinician< >patient conversation, as depicted in the decision aids themselves.

KEYWORDS: systemic design, decision making, medical services

Publishing with RSD

Proceedings of Relating Systems Thinking and Design are published online and include the contributions for each format.

Papers and presentations are entered into a single-blind peer-review process, meaning reviewers see the authors’ names but not vice versa. Reviewers consider the quality of the proposed contribution and whether it addresses topics of interest or raises relevant issues in systemic design. The review process provides feedback and possible suggestions for modifications.

The Organising Committee reviews and assesses workshops and systems maps & exhibits with input from reviewers and the Programme Committee.

The Scholars Spiral

In 2022, the Systemic Design Association adopted the scholars spiral—a cyclic non-hierarchical approach to advance scholarship—and in 2023, launched Contexts—The Systemic Design Journal. Together, the RSD symposia and Contexts support the vital emergence of supportive opportunities for scholars and practitioners to publish work in the interdisciplinary field of systemic design.

The Systemic Design Association's membership ethos is to co-create the socialization and support for all members to contribute their work, find feedback and collaboration where needed, and pursue their pathways toward research and practice outcomes that naturally build a vital design field for the future.
