Program Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>International Coproduction Health Network (ICoHN)<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u00a0is a network of communities of practice composed of multiple\u00a0<\/span>communities of practice (CoPs)<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>which have been engaged in improving health and healthcare through a focus on\u00a0<\/span>co-production<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 The coproduction perspective challenges traditional thinking about how healthcare is conceptualized, viewing it as a service rather than something that is produced or delivered by the healthcare system.\u00a0 This new conceptualization of how healthcare services are coproduced requires a new way of thinking about how quality and value are generated and how these aspects can be assessed and measured to inform improvement and strategic decision-making in health systems.In 2020, ICoHN established a CoP focussed on coproduction value creation called the\u00a0Value Creating Business Model Community of Practice<\/u><\/i><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Led by CHIRP director\u00a0Dr. Brant Oliver<\/u><\/a>\u00a0and visionary improvement scholar\u00a0Dr. Paul Batalden<\/u><\/a>, this group was composed of healthcare operations and finance leaders, clinicians, and patients from eleven health systems representing four countries and engaged on a one-year initiative to develop a self-assessment approach for health systems to assess coproduction value in health services using an adaptation of\u00a0Fjeldstad\u2019s value architectures<\/u><\/a>.\u00a0 The self-assessment approach is now being applied and studied in four health systems in two counties in the\u00a0CO-VALUE\u00a0<\/u><\/i>study<\/u><\/a>, which aims to further develop the self-assessment approach to provide qualitative and quantitative assessment options. CO-VALUE will complete the second part of a planned three-phase study in September, 2023. The first two phases of the study are now completed and Phase 3 will complete in 2027.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
