Co-creation Impact Compass: Working together for more impact
|
|
Active participation of stakeholders in your research project, is important to increase the actual impact of your research. Co-creation is the process of involving stakeholders as full and equal partners in all phases of the research process. To foster a co-creative process, numerous frameworks and tools are available, including from the world of design thinking, business and healthcare. However, it is not easy to determine which method is suitable, for what purpose and at what time. The Co-creation Impact Compass is a useful guide to support you conducting a co-creative approach. It increases your understanding of the value of co-creation for societal, economic, and scientific impacts of your research project, and supports you to select helpful and valid co-creation tools.
The compass was developed by Anita Stevens, Anneke van Dijk and Sandra Beurskens (RL Promoting Health and Personalised Care) - the co-creation team of the Brightlands innovation programme "Limburg Meet" (LIME).

“We need to actively involve people in vulnerable population groups in research on healthy living”
|
|
What do people in vulnerable segments of the population need in order to live healthy lives? This is the question Gera Nagelhout’s research focuses on. The new CAPHRI professor (RL Promoting Health and Personalised Care), who delivered her inaugural lecture on 19 March, involves her target group in her research. “If you only come up with things for people rather than with them, you will fail to reach them.”

"Broader societal perspective needed to combat pandemic consequences"
|
|
In order to help politicians and policymakers make better decisions in future pandemics, health scientists’ advice must take into account the effects that pandemic-related measures have outside of the healthcare sector much more. Luca Janssen, Silvia Evers, Aggie Paulus and Irina Pokhilenko (RL Creating Value-Based Healthcare) and other health economists from the University of Birmingham therefore call for a broader societal perspective in studies evaluating the economic impact of corona measures.

How to assess uncertainties in health economic decision making?
|
|
How to make decisions regarding marketing authorisations? Especially when taking into account that medicines are often very expensive? It is assumed that science provides certainty. But how "certain" are research results? Can you properly weigh uncertainties and risks for policy decisions, even without "100% evidence"? The TRansparent Uncertainty ASsessmenT (TRUST) Tool helps with this. Manuela Joore (RL Creating Value-Based Healthcare) explains how the tool works on the ZonMW website (in Dutch).
