Expert Focus Groups to Assess the Potential for Clinical Adoption of a Novel Technology

Research Project Summary

Expert Focus Groups to Assess the Potential for Clinical Adoption of a Novel Technology

The research team convened a series of focus groups at professional meetings of Speech-Language Pathologists to elicit feedback on the viability of adopting High-Resolution Manometry in clinic.

QHRC Role

The QHRC team organized focus groups at two professional conferences, provided expert facilitation on site, including pilot focus groups, performed all thematic coding, and lead qualitative writing workshops and writing groups.

“We completed data collection in a timely and organized fashion, and these data resulted in 3 meaningful publications. The publications provided new insights for our field of clinical practice.”
