Value Creating Business Model

Purpose of this community of practice

To develop a business model for value creation from coproduced healthcare services that can be employed in operations and research for use in the assessment, improvement, and accountability of coproduction in healthcare systems.

Activities

Launched in June, 2019, we use a community of practice structure comprised of monthly virtual webinars and periodic in-person meetings. Facilitators guide participants in inquiry and discovery discussions aiming to articulate domains of a value creation self-assessment guide that can be pilot tested in healthcare systems. Domains of discussion follow a discovery learning cycle influenced by Fjeldstad's work on value creating architectures that includes the following themes: (1) preparation; (2) population and context; (3) value chain thinking; (4) value shop thinking; (5) facilitated networks; (6) interdependent system elements; and (7) product vs. service logic. A parallel research study (CO-VALUE) is associated with this community of practice and aims to develop a self-assessment guide for coproduction value creation, pilot test a qualitative version of the guide, and then develop and pilot test a quantitative measures set for coproduction value creation.

1) Co-production of healthcare service

2) Patient focused registries can improve health, care and science

3) Getting more health from healthcare: quality improvement must acknowledge patient coproduction
