Measuring and Improving Coproduction Using coopeRATE

Measuring and Improving Coproduction Using coopeRATE: A Before-and-after Study in Adult Cystic Fibrosis Care

The purpose of this study is to identify new methods of measuring and improving collaborative goal setting between patients and clinicians in adult cystic fibrosis care.

This study has 3 specific aims: Aim 1 will assess the construct validity of the coopeRATE Measure in the before phase of a before-and-after study in adult cystic fibrosis care settings. The coopeRATE Measure is a generic, patient-reported experience measure of collaborative goal setting that was recently developed in consultation with patients and other key stakeholders. Aim 2 will assess the impact of the coopeRATE Prompt intervention on collaborative goal setting and other outcomes in a before-and-after study in adult cystic fibrosis care settings. The coopeRATE Prompt intervention is a set of questions delivered to patients immediately before the clinical encounter that elicit their concerns and goals. Aim 3 will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of implementing the coopeRATE Prompt and Measure in routine adult cystic fibrosis care.
