Abstract: Co-creating Effective and Inclusive Organizations (CEIO) is a unique, New Haven-centered initiative co-founded by Bill Graustein, a former academic and New Haven-based philanthropic community funder, and Niyonu Spann, an experienced equity educator, organizational development and change agent, and activist. The idea of creative agency and “co-creation” is the starting point, the grounding, and the center of CEIO’s vision CEIO seeks to encourage consciousness in co-creation to support active transformation in the face of various forces of oppression – power structures, cultural systems, internalized beliefs, and social conditions such as poverty, racism, and sexism – that act against our sense of individual and collective agency. In 2018, CEIO commissioned an inquiry process to understand and clearly articulate the inner workings of the CEIO work and to describe its effectiveness and impact. CC BY CLICK HERE

Abstract: The new forms of organization of healthcare services entail the development of new clinical practices that are grounded in collaboration. Despite recent advances in research on the subject of collaboration, there is still a need for a better understanding of collaborative processes and for conceptual tools to help healthcare professionals develop collaboration amongst themselves in complex systems. This study draws on D’Amour’s structuration model of collaboration to analyze healthcare facilities offering perinatal services in four health regions in the province of Quebec. The objectives are to: 1) validate the indicators of the structuration model of collaboration; 2) evaluate interprofessional and interorganizational collaboration in four health regions; and 3) propose a typology of collaboration.
