The Delphi Method in Healthcare
Structured consensus methods such as Nominal Group Technique (NGT), RAND-UCLA and the more popular Delphi Method are widely used in healthcare to define standards, understand best practice or to establish policies.
The Delphi Method is a systematic and iterative approach to communication used to generate definition, clarity and support based on expert opinions. Usually involving rounds of anonymous questionnaires with controlled feedback, it is one of the most rapid ways to build new evidence and support advocacy.
Triducive combine healthcare sector experience with expertise in delivering structured expert consensus to support decisions and facilitate positive change.
