Abstract

This study explored the feasibility of using an experience-based co-design service improvement methodology to develop a new approach to managing multimorbidity in people living with HIV. Patients with HIV and multimorbidity and staff were recruited from five hospital departments and general practice. Staff and patient experiences were gathered through semi-structured interviews, filmed patient interviews, non-participant observation and patient diaries. A composite film developed from interviews illustrated the touchpoints in the patient journey, and priorities for service improvement were identified by staff and patients in focus groups. Twenty-two people living with HIV and 14 staff took part. Four patients completed a diary and 10 a filmed interview. Analysis identified eight touchpoints, and group work pinpointed three improvement priorities: medical records and information sharing; appointment management; and care co-ordination and streamlining. This study demonstrates that experience-based co-design is feasible in the context of HIV and can inform healthcare improvement for people with multimorbidity.
