The Collaborative Research Approach
The Collaborative Research Approach (CRA) addresses issues from the perspectives of many different partners, with varied opinions, responsibilities and complementary experience. Together they explore the subject, from all angles, and reach solutions for the benefit of patients.
Opting for a CRA means encouraging the collaboration of several partners with complementary expertise, to develop meaningful professional relationships based on mutual aid and communication.
