We want to formalise quality assurance of our scoping work: has anyone else
has attempted something similar?
At the Social Care Institute for Excellence, scoping means gathering,
organising and presenting background information resources at the start of
commissionable projects. So that means searching bibliographic databases,
tracking down key policy, reports and centres of excellence, and finding
key organisations and community initiatives. Then we package and present
that information in EndNote libraries, Mindmaps, Word hyperlinked lists
etc., with a short summary report. Our field is best practice in social
care.
So far, we have compiled procedural guidance, pro formas, presentation
templates and procedural checklists. Informative feedback has been
difficult to get as our work takes place up to a year before the final
publication. We've thought about benchmarking, and stating selection
criteria - any other ideas?
