(Patient falls in American hospitals lead to an estimated 250,000 injuries and about 11,000 deaths every year.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The design thinking method is a five-stage process that first asks workshop participants to empathize with and then define the problem. Participants brainstorm ideas before building and testing a prototype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nebraska X Design Workshop will begin with an all-day bootcamp at the Catalyst building in the EDGE District on Tuesday, Nov. 11, to train attendees in the design thinking process. The Nov. 12 schedule, to be held in the Nebraska Medicine Innovation Design Unit, will feature the design thinking \u201csprint workshop\u201d using the five-step process to build solutions to the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event will be led by Doug Dietz, an industrial engineer and former Design Team Lead at GE Healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both days with run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop is targeted at anyone interested in problem-solving, thinking outside the box and collaborative projects. Any faculty interested in learning more about the design thinking methodology for their colleges, departments and units are encouraged to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deadline to apply is Sept. 30, and all applications will be reviewed and accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Space is limited, so anyone interested is encouraged to apply soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a
