Organization-wide impact and improved practices for the design process
IThe documentation was recently tested for a new designer being onboarded for a conceptual medical design project for use in the OR that would only last 2 weeks.

The new designer was able to go through the document in a few hours, and referenced it throughout the project. This helped her succeed in her new venture in flying colors.
