Benchmarks for effective primary care‐based nursing services for adults with depression: a Delphi study

Abstract

Multi-professional primary care staff have similar views about the appropriate benchmarks for care of adults with depression. These benchmarks could serve as a foundation for depression improvement initiatives in primary care and ongoing research into depression management by nurses.

Development of indicators to assess the quality of medicines reconciliation at hospital admission: an e-Delphi study

“…[28,34,[36][37][38] The e-Delphi process has also been used to develop consensus on the most important safety features [30] and to identify appropriate benchmarks. [39] It is increasingly used due to the availability and easy accessibility of email and the Internet for healthcare professionals, including pharmacists. [29] Using online questionnaires facilitated data collection and analysis and made it easy to identify and track non-respondents.…”

“…[39] It is increasingly used due to the availability and easy accessibility of email and the Internet for healthcare professionals, including pharmacists. [29] Using online questionnaires facilitated data collection and analysis and made it easy to identify and track non-respondents. These modifications have been used successfully to identify and achieve consensus on benchmarks for effective primary care-based nursing services [29] and to identify and achieve consensus on safety features of GP computer systems.…”

Expert Views on Metacognitive Strategies for Arabic Language Learning: An Application of the Fuzzy Delphi Method

“…Furthermore, it is very economical in terms of utilising the technology for unlimited instrument delivery and collection. On the basis of this everadapting Delphi method and its broader definition, FDM is widely employed to determine group priorities and inform decisionmaking in various research areas such as nursing, [40][41] management, 42 education, [43][44][45] media, 46 and business. 47…”
