The financial and capacity pressures facing healthcare systems call for new strategies to deliver high-quality, efficient services. 'Coproduction' is a concept gaining recognition as an approach create patient partnerships that enable better functioning systems. Yet, this framing obscures coproduction's 'everyday unavoidable' character, already part of service delivery. This paper aims understand these everyday unavoidable dimensions coproduced services by drawing upon thematic process...
The field of health research appears increasingly open to qualitative approaches. We celebrate the rise in and mixed methods publications marked presence researchers academic centres research. However, we note enduring tensions between conceptual methodological approaches those a quantitative paradigm, generally more familiar practitioners, policymakers often other researchers. In some instances, qualitatively-oriented investigations continue conflict with expectations within provide...
Most of the research on health care user “quality care” perspectives seeks discrete and measurable indicators to advance quality improvement (QI) goals. This lacks sufficiently grounded query about meaning for users, how context influences their ideas experiences. We studied this between 2010 2011, repeatedly interviewing shadowing 45 individuals in three New York’s hospital-based outpatient HIV settings during routine visits. found participants using common terminology, but across cohort...

Mixed methods research is increasingly valued, although little attention has been placed on how to execute such projects well achieve optimal publication for impact. Multiple publications from a single study allow scholars explicate findings that cannot be contained in article and which address different aspects of findings. This contributes the fields mixed by building their roots pragmatism, we argue calls effective studies resulting published proposes project management framework...

Academic funding bodies are increasingly measuring research impact using accountability and reward assessments. Scholars have argued that frameworks attempting to measure the use-value of knowledge production could end up influencing selection topics, limiting agendas, privileging linear over complex designs. Our article responds these concerns by calling upon insights from anthropology reconceptualise impact. We argue that, conduct socially beneficial studies, needs be turned a product an...
Abstract Integrating antiretroviral therapy (ART) into HIV care dramatically extended the lifespan for people living with (PWH).
