Patient engagement in healthcare improvement

[Wendy Hardyman]

Hi everyone. I am a first year PhD student interested in patient engagement in healthcare improvement. I am new to the literature on co-production and wondered if anyone  was aware of frameworks, tools, literature or any work being undertaken  which looks at 'co-production' within exisiting  service provisions and how to measure/evaluate this in a healthcare context.

I suggest that unless you are involved with work on a very large scale then the most appropriate evaluation frame work is probably Social Return On Investment.  This is largely because the New Economics Foundation have been very involved in both coproduction and SROI.  SROI also fits well with PRINCE2 project management methodology.  They both apply a stakeholder engagement methodology with also relates well with the coproduction approach.  You may find this useful - http://www.neweconomics.org/projects/social-return-investment
