“…This is not unlike participative management in organizational design (Jewell & Jewell, 1992) or cul~ral change (Lineberry & Carleton, 1992) as seen by performance technology. Since the nature of the project revealed changing the entire way HNA delivers home healthcare, an intrinsic characteristic of systemic change, the task force felt that the entire organization should move to an IT-based system.…”

User-design is an important new theoretical[] Systems theory and thinking inform the effective improvement of human performance through user-design. One of the cornerstones of these theories is stakeholder involvement in what has been called participatory-or userdesign. While the value of including the users is apparent, the reality of such efforts has a history of failure and underachievement. In most cases, user-design has really meant user-consultation or even user-manipulation in which designers imply that users will have control when in fact they are really being asked to approve an already made set of design decisions.Leaders and designers must collaborate in empowering stakeholders and educating for design. Both these groups must strive to create the spaces necessary and the tools that are simple enough to engage broad groups of diverse stakeholders in the process of design. Understanding the specific ways in which leaders can enable stakeholders to take a decision-making role in the design of their own systems of human learning is the next step toward effective implementation of technology and educational practices. However, little research exists around user-design to date, and no strong evidence is offered for use by training, instructional design, or systems designers.It is important here, to distinguish this work from the more traditional, and well-researched areas of user-centered design, and standard usability literatures. While a good deal of work exists on the involvement of users as advisors to expert designers, and on the testing of new products with end-users in marketing studies, these represent more traditional understandings of the role of users than we are advocating here.

Assignment of a psychiatric diagnosis is based upon a complex interpersonal transaction in which a diagnostician's professional training, experience, and skill are applied to the detection of signs and indications of a specific mental disorder in a person who is typically experiencing distress, discomfort, and helplessness. In the ideal case, this determination is construed as an inference from the observations and communications gathered, subject to minimal distortions, if any. In actuality, the attainment of veridical psychiatric diagnosis across all populations and diagnostic categories was an ambitious and elusive goal throughout the twentieth century. By this time, substantial advances in formulating and applying rules of diagnosis have been made, exemplified by the changes in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manuals of the American Psychiatric Association from the first to the current fourth edition, the development of observational rating and self‐report symptom scales, and the improvement of interviewing procedures. Nonetheless, problems with the validity of diagnostic judgment persist – a continuing task for the mental health professions throughout the world is to reduce errors and distortions.
