The Health Quality & Safety Commission commissioned Ko Awatea, an innovation and improvement centre, to deliver a co-design programme to nine teams of health care providers. The co-design programme was part of Partners in Care, a broader programme developed in 2012 to support and enable patient engagement and participation across the health and disability sector.
Teams received training, guidance and mentorship in Experience Based Design (EBD) methodology.
This evaluation focuses on the co-design programme, exploring barriers and facilitators to the sustainability of the co-design projects and the EBD approach.
