Patient experiences of codesigned rehabilitation interventions in hospitals: a rapid review.

Background: Codesign strengthens partnerships between healthcare workers and patients. It also facilitates collaborations supporting the development, design and delivery of healthcare services. Prior rehabilitation reviews have focused mainly on the clinical and organisational outcomes of codesign with less focus on the lived experience of rehabilitation patients.

Patient experiences of co-designed rehabilitation interventions: protocol for a rapid review.
