The Chair cultivated a wide and dynamic
network of colleagues, associates, and students in health services
industries and agencies, government sectors, and in academe. The
diversity of the network both promoted and was fostered by the
Chair’s commitment to cross-cutting knowledge creation and
translation. The "relational capital" generated by the
Chair’s Health Care Settings Network was built on growing
trust and familiarity, and enabled Coyte to facilitate research
collaborations and research uptake throughout the home and community
care sectors.
The hyperlinks to the left exemplify the
range of home and community care decision-making relationships
that the Chair had cultivated with diverse health services sectors.
These linkages promoted the participation of stakeholders and decision-makers
throughout the research process, leading to new and pragmatic
research questions, collaborative data collection and interpretation,
and context-appropriate knowledge dissemination and application.
In these linkage and exchange situations, Coyte played a leadership
role in promoting the integration of education, research, and knowledge
transfer.
