Hi all,
This sounds a lot like the problem of Knowledge Transfer that we
addressed at the recent Consensus Conference sponsored by "Academic
Emergency Medicine" journal and held in conjunction with the Society of
Academic Emergency Medicine annual meeting Eddy Lang, Peter Wyer and
Barney Eskin were the leaders of that group. The proceedings are being
pubilshed in the November issue of the "Academic Emergency Medicine"
journal. Perhaps they can share some of the results of the various
theme deliberations with the Sicily group.
Best wishes,
Dan

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.
