Description
Noelle Murphy and co-authors use design thinking to build a yardstick for paperwork in a hospital sterile compounding unit. Such units mix medicines by hand under strict cleanliness rules, yet Ireland has no national framework for how their documents should run. Design thinking starts with the users, then drafts, tests, and refines a fix.
The team read world guidelines on sterile making and drafted a first benchmarking tool. Five senior stakeholders were interviewed to sharpen its focus, and eleven end users then tried the polished tool inside a working Irish unit. Their feedback was coded into themes to guide the tool's next form. The authors offer the case as a first Irish health example of the method.
