Track: Workshops

All stakeholders – both users and providers - should have a voice and the opportunity to contribute in the development of person-centered, integrated services. Therefore, co-design is increasingly used to support the goals of the Swedish Social Service Act and the national initiative “Good quality, local healthcare”.  However, there is limited practical guidance for health and social care providers on how to co-design integrated services together with older people. This workshop draws upon the KOMPASS project that aims to develop and test a practical guide for how staff and older people can collaboratively create person-centered integrated services.  This workshop will address core components and challenges in co-designing person-centered integrated services.  Introduction (10 min by MF, HS): Presentation of core components for successful co-design, and practical challenges identified in KOMPASS. Results are based on studies of co-design processes, observations and interviews with staff, managers and older people in Stockholm.  Workshop (35 min by MF, SC, HS, CL): Vignettes illustrating complex co-design scenarios will be used for group work. Participants will be divided into moderated small groups to reflect on key themes that are important yet often challenging in practical co-design:  Meaningful involvement. How can stakeholders from different organizations meaningfully involve and collaborate with older people in the co-development of integrated services – ensuring that their experiences and knowledge are valued throughout the process?   Anchoring co-production in organizations. What is needed to ensure that co-designed outcomes truly reflect organizational priorities and lead to real-world implementation?  Ethical considerations. How can facilitators and participants work together to uphold ethical principles – ensuring respect, inclusion, and transparency?  Summary (15 min by CL, SC): Workshop leaders will briefly present key insights from the group work to the full audience and invite a joint discussion on core components that enable co-design of person-centered, integrated care with and for older people.
