Description

The article recommends sequencing a minimally intrusive environmental scan before more intrusive knowledge elicitation. "Including at least two data collection methods is unique to our health care-setting adapted CTA framework. We developed this progression to minimize intrusion into the clinical environment." The environmental analysis identifies actors, barriers, facilitators, and policies, and refines interview guides and sampling for the subsequent knowledge elicitation step.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • A priori identification of data collection methods and materials during planning

Constraints

  • Designed for busy clinical environments where intrusion must be minimized

Target Learners

  • health services researchers
  • quality improvement teams

Learning Goals

  • understanding cognitive processes underlying clinical tasks
