116. The Involvement Matrix − Involvement of patients in project and research – Practical Guide

This Matrix (developed by Smits, Klem, and Ketelaar, Centre of Excellence for Rehabilitation Medicine Utrecht) has been developed to promote collaboration with patients (from the age of 12) in projects and research. The Guide contains info about the ‘what’ (roles, phases, and activities of patient involvement in a project) and the ‘how’ (principles for having dialogues and concrete recommendations for using the Matrix). The Matrix identifies 6 roles: listener; co-thinker; advisor; partner, decision-maker. The Matrix singles out three phases: preparatory phase; execution; implementation.
