Achieving Consensus Among Stakeholders Using the Nominal Group Technique: A Perinatal Quality Collaborative Approach.
Background and objectives: Public health systems exhibiting strong connections across the workforce experience substantial population health improvements. This is especially important for improving quality and achieving value among vulnerable populations such as mothers and infants. The purpose of this research was to demonstrate how Alabama's newly formed perinatal quality collaborative (Alabama Perinatal Quality Collaborative [ALPQC]) used evidenced-based processes to achieve consensus in identifying population quality improvement (QI) initiatives.
Methods: This multiphase quantitative and qualitative study engaged stakeholders (n = 44) at the ALPQC annual meeting. Maternal and neonatal focused QI project topics were identified and catalogued from active perinatal quality collaborative websites. The Delphi method and the nominal group technique (NGT) were used to prioritize topics using selected criteria ( impact , enthusiasm , alignment , and feasibility ) and stakeholder input.
Results: Using the Delphi method, 11 of 27 identified project topics met inclusion criteria for stakeholder consideration. Employing the NGT, maternal projects received more total votes (n = 535) than neonatal projects (n = 313). Standard deviations were higher for neonatal projects (SD: feasibility = 10.9, alignment = 17.9, enthusiasm = 19.2, and impact = 22.1) than for maternal projects (SD: alignment = 5.9, enthusiasm = 7.3, impact = 7.9, and feasibility = 11.1). Hypertension in pregnancy (n = 117) and neonatal abstinence syndrome (n = 177) achieved the most votes total and for impact (n = 35 and n = 54, respectively) but variable support for feasibility .
Conclusions: Together, these techniques achieved valid consensus across multidisciplinary stakeholders in alignment with state public health priorities. This model can be used in other settings to integrate stakeholder input and enhance the value of a common population QI agenda.
期刊介绍：
Quality Management in Health Care (QMHC) is a peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for our readers to explore the theoretical, technical, and strategic elements of health care quality management. The journal''s primary focus is on organizational structure and processes as these affect the quality of care and patient outcomes. In particular, it:
-Builds knowledge about the application of statistical tools, control charts, benchmarking, and other devices used in the ongoing monitoring and evaluation of care and of patient outcomes;
-Encourages research in and evaluation of the results of various organizational strategies designed to bring about quantifiable improvements in patient outcomes;
-Fosters the application of quality management science to patient care processes and clinical decision-making;
-Fosters cooperation and communication among health care providers, payers and regulators in their efforts to improve the quality of patient outcomes;
-Explores links among the various clinical, technical, administrative, and managerial disciplines involved in patient care, as well as the role and responsibilities of organizational governance in ongoing quality management.
