OUR VISION

Coproducing better health and health care for EVERYONE

OUR MISSION

To leverage the power of partnerships between patients, families, communities, health professionals, and health systems to co-create and test innovative approaches to improve health and health care. To disseminate and evaluate these approaches across diverse contexts to shape a more equitable future of healthcare services through advocacy and policy and to support patients, caregivers, and professionals in learning to work together in a new way to deepen the knowledge, science, and theory of coproduction.

OUR RESEARCH

The Coproduction Laboratory is dedicated to creating productive partnerships between patients, families, and their health care teams.  We are motivated by the belief that patients, families, and clinicians can produce better health and value by working together to make decisions and to manage health and well-being.

The concept of coproduction reflects the shared work between patients, families, and clinicians to co-assess health status and the impact of prior treatments, co-decide on the next phase of the plan of care, co-design the treatment plan, and co-deliver the plan of care. We believe that coproduction of healthcare services supports true patient-provider partnerships and creates better health.
