Abstract:

In this presentation, we will explore the importance of collaboration between researchers, clinicians, and technologists in developing and implementing clinical technology tools aimed at reducing clinician burnout, increasing efficiency, and improving service delivery. The discussion will highlight how interdisciplinary partnerships are essential to designing solutions that are ethical, transparent, and meet the needs of clinicians and clients alike. Key topics will include strategies for fostering meaningful collaborations, ensuring that clinical tools are grounded in evidence-based research, and addressing ethical concerns related to data privacy and transparency. By combining the expertise of researchers who understand behavioral principles, clinicians who navigate daily workflow challenges, and technologists who build solutions, this approach ensures the development of tools that truly support clinician well-being, improve patient outcomes, and have a clear impact on service delivery. The session will provide actionable insights on fostering productive partnerships that drive innovation in the healthcare space while maintaining ethical integrity and transparency.
