A few years ago, I moderated discussion at another virtual forum that struggled with the similar problem of identifying a validated, evidence-based, open process for selecting quality improvement projects/objectives - one that would be practical within any given healthcare setting. My suggestion is ABNA, and a pertinent reference is:
Birnbaum D, Konieczna M, Ratner P. Williamson's ABNA revisited. CLINICAL GOVERNANCE 2006;11(4):326-334. Full text should be available at www.emeraldinsight.com/1477-7274.htm & DOI for this article is 10.1108/14777270610708869.
Regards,
David.
