A Research Conference on Improving the Quality and Affordability of Healthcare Through Co-Production of Healthcare Services

The James M. Anderson Center for Health Systems Excellence, in conjunction with the Academy for Healthcare Improvement community, invites researchers, clinicians, patients/families and others working at the front lines of improving health to an inter-professional research and methodology conference focused on co-production of healthcare services.

Join us as we work together to understand the science of partnering with patients, both adults and children, to improve health and healthcare.
 
Researchers, clinicians, patients/families and others working at the front lines of improving health will learn about the emerging field of co-production of healthcare services. These efforts are called by many names – patient centeredness, patient engagement and patient experience – yet each works to ensure effective partnerships between patients and healthcare teams.

This conference will explore the principles, methods and measurement of co-production, as well as the implications and challenges for healthcare delivery system design and health professional development.

A variety of engaging workshops with time dedicated to hands-on, interactive application of the methods being learned. Workshops will include topics such as:

•  Shared Decision-Making
•  Patient-Reported Measures
•  N-of-1 Trials to Improve Outcomes
•  Social Networking and Social Network Analyses
•  Methods to Create a Patient/Stakeholder-Prioritized Research Agenda

Panel Discussions

What Is Co-Production? A Panel Discussion Of Patients, Clinicians, & Researchers

Co-production is an old concept, but a new term for healthcare. What do we mean by this term? Is co-production similar to or different from Patient/Family Experience, activation, engagement? Beyond the definition, what does co-production look like and feel like from both perspectives? How might that inform its measurement and how we think about improving co-production?  Panelists will include patients, clinicians, and researchers who have been working in partnership in clinical, system improvement, and community health settings. They will share their experiences and reflections on these questions, including real-world challenges and solutions in co-production, trust and relational accountability, and what is NOT known.

Co-Producing Research: A Panel Discussion Of Researchers & Their Patient Partners

Research and discovery have long been under the direction of scientists and clinicians.  As healthcare moves to improve through co-production, research can also improve through co-production principles.  Patients and families have much to offer clinicians and scientists in defining research questions, designing and executing research studies and disseminating information learned in research.  This panel will explore the benefit of co-production in all stages of healthcare research and provide practical examples of the benefit of involving patients and families in clinical research endeavors. Panelists will share their experiences in co-production of research along with the challenges faced in working as teams to discover and disseminate new knowledge
