Part 1: Co-designing for impact – a forensic dive into community participatory methods

Research stakeholders are continually challenged by funding bodies to ensure Consumer and Community Involvement (CCI) is demonstrated throughout health research projects.

What are the successful principles and practices that truly make co-design|co-production a game changer for some and how do we garner these elements for maximum impact, when improving health outcomes is our end goal?

A consumer and researcher will co-share the results of a CCI forensic dive into digital health research projects taking place at Melbourne University’s Centre for Digitial Transformation of Health (CDTH), and will offer highlights from a co-designed|co-produced project that illustrate the success and impact on researchers and health consumers alike.

Part 2: Unlocking sustainable co-delivery: the power of transformation improvement cadence

The Transformation Team and front-line employees will present a new methodology for healthcare improvements at Monash Health. The Outpatients Transformation team achieved significant results by deploying objectives in 12-week cycles collaboratively. They reduced milestone achievement time by a third, increased endorsed milestones from 10 to 29, and empowered teams, suggesting a promising future for healthcare improvement delivery.

Part 3: Can ‘living’ guidelines be made, and if so, will they be used?

Keeping best practice guidelines up-to-date with rapidly emerging research evidence is one of the key challenges to delivering evidence-based care. ‘Living guidelines’ approaches enable continual incorporation of new research, assisting healthcare professionals to apply the latest evidence to their clinical practice.

However, our understanding of how living guidelines are developed, maintained and applied is limited.

The Stroke Foundation in Australia was one of the first organisations to apply living guideline development methods for their Living Stroke Guidelines (LSGs), presenting a unique opportunity to evaluate the process and impact of this novel approach.
