In this context, Konsulta'm lab, in collaboration with Avedis Donabedian research Institute (UAB), aims at developing a learning and innovation model for the approach, development, and testing of new strategies, practices, tools, and solutions to promote services from a perspective of integrated and people-centered care.
Konsulta'm Learning and Innovation Lab allows the possibility of networking in a shared and continuous space for professional learning from different services and disciplines, including research professionals, representatives of service providers, organizations, as well as users to explore and test new approaches and solutions to detected problems (alternative work systems, methodologies, processes...). The lab will address the need for greater integration of care, which requires new professional skills and abilities, through the search for innovation aimed at overcoming organizational and professional barriers.
