ABSTRACT
Objectives:
This article describes how a home visit solution was developed in a co-design process between patients in treatment for severe spasticity, their caregivers and hospital nurses. The solution was developed using a participatory design approach and was based on the identified needs of the participants.Methods:
We developed a home visit solution through an iterative process and a collective 'reflection-in-action' approach with patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals.Results:
The study revealed the complexities of establishing new routines around home visits. The solution included a new workflow for the nurses and a new route and appointment planning tool.Conclusion:
Through a participatory design approach, the users developed a home visit solution that minimised disruption to patients' daily lives and facilitated a dialogue between the nurses and the caregivers about the treatment and the patients' spasticity, which helped to adjust the treatment in line with the patient´s needs.Key words
