Co-designing interventions within quality improvement initiatives: Notes from the field

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: Increasingly, quality improvement programmes are developed with an explicit mandate to involve patients, carers, and members of the public. A quality improvement and research programme in Northwest London has nearly a decade of experience in this field. This article provides an overview of how improvement initiatives supported by the programme have involved patients in the co-design of interventions within various clinical settings. Reflections on some of the challenges and facilitators are offered. Extending roles for patients beyond co-designing interventions to involving them in implementation offers new levels of engagement and transparency.
