Co-creation with Stakeholders: A Web 2.0 Antibiotic Stewardship Program

Patient Safety needs a rethinking about medicine due to the aging society, increase in chronic diseases and infections and a decrease in available budget for healthcare. Besides, patients are the driving force behind transparency of healthcare decisions. Participative Medicine supported by technology is promising to innovate medical thinking and workflows. In this paper we discuss a holistic eHealth development approach for participative medicine. We show, using the case of antibiotic stewardship, how participation of stakeholders can be used to co-create a digital platform with applications to support decision–making and collaboration. We demonstrate that participation of stakeholders (healthcare workers, providers, policymakers, management, patients) is needed to co-create eHealth technologies that make sense by being accessible, affordable, applicable, manageable and
