Penn Medicine Nudge Unit Call for Proposals |
Do you have an idea to improve health care delivery and patient care at Penn Medicine?
The Penn Medicine Nudge Unit is conducting a call for proposals to identify opportunities to improve patient outcomes and health care delivery using nudges. A nudge is a change in the way choices are presented or information is framed that is meant to guide or motivate decision-making. In short, we're looking for proposals that target situations where patients, clinicians, or others on the care team who are critical to good outcomes don't make the right choice or it's just too hard or inefficient to make the decision that achieves optimal health or operational outcomes.
Members of the Penn and Penn Medicine community are invited to submit proposals by March 11, 2022, at 11:59 PM. Selected projects will receive guidance from the Nudge Unit team on design, testing, and implementation in the health system, and support with data extraction. Learn more here.
