Opportunities for authentic co-production in integrated care implementation

Abstract

This Short Communication proposes opportunities for authentic co-production in integrated care implementation. While there are targeted efforts to implement integrated care across healthcare systems, the extent to which these efforts have prioritized co-production is unknown. Opportunities for authentic integrated care implementation co-production are anchored to five core principles for implementation collaborations: 1) equity in relationship building, (2) reflexivity, (3) reciprocity and mutuality, (4) transformative and personalized, and (5) collaborative relationship structures or procedures.
