Towards Growing a COIN in a Medical Research Community

Co-Designing a Collaborative Chronic Care Network (C3N) for Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Development of Methods

“…We responded quickly and substantively to potential solutions and connected together people working on similar problems. These efforts were augmented by webinars where stakeholders shared their perspectives and relevant work and other webinars where ideas from different disciplines were integrated into the overall design [ 17 ].…”

“…The objective of this study was to report the methods used, with a diverse group of stakeholders, to translate the idea of a C3N to a set of actionable next steps. Although we have previously described elements of the C3N model [ 6 , 15 ], the use of goal-directed design [ 16 ], and the formation of a collaborative open-innovation network [ 17 ], the unique contribution of this report is describing the process of codesigning—with representatives from all relevant stakeholders and using the idealized design process—an approach that has the potential to transform the chronic care system. We use the case of ImproveCareNow, a learning network to improve health, care, and costs for pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), as the model case for these methods.…”

Creativities, Innovation, and Networks in Garage Punk Rock: A Case Study of the Eruptörs

“…We have in were especially drawn to Peter Gloor's work on collaborative innovation networks (COINs). The COIN model has been applied in fields as wide-ranging as medical research (Gloor et al, 2011) and collaborative editing of wiki sites (Iba et al, 2011). While the concept is often applied to larger-scale collaborations such as these, when introducing the model, Gloor (2006, p. 23) also uses the example of a trio of collaborative musical composer-performers to illustrate the functions of COINs, indicating how the COIN construct can be applicable to musicians (and others) working in networks of various sizes.…”
