Overview:
The persona-scenario exercise, an alternative to traditional strategies, originated from the field of human computer interface design. This project used this methodology adapted by Dr. Valaitis from participatory approaches used in eHealth. This article describes how persona-scenario exercises were applied in the codesign of the complex primary health care intervention TAPESTRY (Teams Advancing Patient Experiences: Strengthening Quality).
Detailed Info:
The goal of the TAPESTRY program is to determine how health care teams can be more responsive to the needs of our aging population. The program involves trained community volunteers reaching out to older adults in their homes to assess their health needs. Volunteers will be linked to patients’ health care teams using technology, which will improve communication with providers and will also maximize engagement with community service providers.
