A living and innovative laboratory

The Chair proposes a living laboratory approach that engages and mobilizes all the stakeholders concerned, including the contribution of a network of patient partners.

This workspace and pooling of knowledge gives rise to the creation to an innovation ecosystem allowing, from the genesis of the idea, to co-build the intervention but also its evaluation and dissemination by involving at the beginning of all the partners concerned (patients, citizens, health workers, managers / decision makers, researchers, even industrialists).

 

Collaboration with the Center of Excellence on Patient and Public Partnership (CEPPP)

The work of the Chair is also part of the research program of the CEPPP, a world pioneer in the science of partnership.

The Center of Excellence on Patient and Public Partnership develops new practices that focus on dialogue and knowledge sharing to improve the patient experience and the effectiveness of care. In particular, the CEPPP works to optimize the patient partner's "Montreal Model" as a new standard in the health care field and inspires universities, hospitals and researchers around the world.
