The Partnership Co-Design Lab: Co-constructing a Patient Advisor Programme to increase adherence to rehabilitation after upper extremity replantation
Journal Title: The Journal of Health Design - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
At the Centre of Expertise in Reimplantation and Emergency Microsurgical Revascularisation (CEVARMU) of the University of Montreal Hospital Centre (CHUM), a team noted a significant difference in the rates of adherence to rehabilitation interventions between patients followed at the CEVARMU and those transferred to other rehabilitation facilities. The team surmised that the higher rates of adherence to rehabilitation protocols at the CEVARMU could be explained partly by the implementation of a five-phase Patient Advisor Programme created with patient input through the Partnership Co-Design Lab.
