7 Study Background Variability noted in 2011 pilot study of NAs written for private clients Editor of Journal of Continuing Education in the Health Professions (JCEHP) suggested article with "scholarly" approach Simple descriptive research study planned 8
8 Annual Series of Surveys Every fall in back-to-school time frame 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 Mixed methods Quantitative data (from survey) Qualitative data (eg, focus groups, interviews) Survey link distributed via and social media Everyone who takes survey receives raw results Additional results dissemination via: Live workshops, webinars, newsletter & journal articles, posters 9
9 2016 Survey Logistics Opened September 16, closed October 8 10 questions (some old, some new) Promoted to investigators' professional networks N=118 survey starts Adjusted N=108, including partial responses 10
10 2016 Qualitative Method June 2017 focus group in Philadelphia area for in-depth discussion of responses to survey question 4: "When you read a needs assessment written by someone else, what are a few things you quickly check to help you determine whether the writer did a good job? An example might be, 'How old are the references?' but you can write anything you wish. (You may list up to 3 quality indicators below.)" 158 responses from veteran writers were analyzed using the nominal group technique (NGT) American Society for Quality website. Nominal group technique. 11
11 Preliminary Set of Quality Indicators After 6 rounds of NGT, an expert focus group ranked the following 5 of 24 preliminary quality indicators to be the most essential and measurable. These indicators are listed in descending order: Accuracy [Currency/timeliness/freshness/age of evidence]* Readability [Clear statement/clarity]* Data source *Similar qualities that were condensed into a single line and voted on as a single quality indicator in the 6th round of NGT. Molnar-Kimber et al. AMWA Poster 12
12 2016 Quantitative Methods 8 of 10 questions covered demographics and aspects writers encounter writing NAs Analysis Percentage of survey takers Mean (average) Median (middle value, with range) Mode (most frequent response) Rankings (most important to least important for group) 13
13 2016 Survey Highlights 14
14 Q1: When you write needs assessments today, do you work as a staff employee or as a freelancer? Type of Employment of Survey Takers Staff employee 38 Freelancer 44 Both roles 7 I am not currently writing NAs 9 I have not written any NAs Percentage of Survey Takers 15
15 Q2: Approximately how many needs assessments have you written in your entire career and in 2015? 1 to 5 NAs 6 to 25 NAs Career 26 to 50 NAs 2015 >50 NAs Percentage of Survey Takers 16

Most Essential Evidence Clinical practice guidelines 65 Review of medical literature 60 Interview with key opinion leaders 47 Learning outcome data 34 Basic epidemiology of disease state Percentage of Survey Takers 17
17 Q5. Please rank the following barriers in terms of their relative importance to your professional practice. Ranking of Barriers to Practice Not enough lead time 7.1 Poor match between gaps & outcomes 7 Out-of-date clinical practice guidelines 6.95 Few published data on topic 6.81 Appearance of bias 5.92 Unclear assignment Ranking by Survey Takers 1 = least important 10 = most important 18
18 Q7: Please tell us a bit more about the way you choose references to cite. Indicate the relevancy of the following characteristics. Most Important Characteristics of Cited Publications Content relates to the assigned topic 80 Peer-reviewed publication vs not 50 Date of publication 41 Content explains basic science 24 Phase of clinical trial 23 Mentions supporter's product Percentage of Survey Takers 19
19 Q8: Properties of Typical NAs Number of References Statistic # of References Median number of references 30 Full range 3, 145 Interquartile range 15, 41 (25%, 75%) Mode (10.3% of survey takers) 25 Other common numbers of references 7.7% survey takers % survey takers % survey takers 12 Molnar-Kimber et al. AMWA 2017 Poster. 20
20 Q8: Typical Lead Time and Document Length for Assignments Lead Time Statistic Median lead time (range) # of Days 14 (1 to 90) Mode (20%) 14 Other common lead times 14% survey takers 30 9% survey takers 7 Document Length Statistic # of Words Median (range) 2500 (78 to 7850) Mode (8%) 1500 Other common lengths 7% survey takers % survey takers % survey takers 2000, 3000, & 4000 Molnar-Kimber et al. AMWA Poster 21
21 Study Limitations Not a random sample of writers Biased toward members of investigators' professional networks (LinkedIn, Twitter, AMWA, Alliance, etc.) Dinner focus group respondents were survey takers and biased toward residents of Philadelphia area No way to break out NAs written for commercial support versus NAs written for other purposes (eg, academic, hospital, or government work) No way to mathematically calculate a response rate 22
22 Insights on Best Practices Clinical practice guidelines and a medical literature review were considered the 2 most essential types of evidence. The 3 most relevant characteristics for citing a reference were Alignment with assigned topic, Peer review, and Recent publication date. Median lead time for assignments is 14 days. Preliminary set of 5 quality indicators includes accuracy, timeliness, readability, clarity, and data source. 23
23 Future Research: 2017 Survey Best way to write NAs for interprofessional education (eg, physicians and nurses and pharmacists)? Use of storytelling devices Narrative Anecdotes Quotations Pictures, graphics, charts Writers' professional memberships/self-identity References: How old is too old? 24
24 Evidence-Based* Recipes for NAs Basic Better Deluxe *Based on first 2 years of survey data. Recipes are cumulative: better includes basic, and deluxe includes better. 25
25 Basic NA Ingredients 1. Medical literature review 2. Practitioner survey 3. Reference to clinical practice guidelines 4. Key opinion leader interview(s) 5. Alignment chart with columns labeled "Learning Objective" "Practice Gap" "Desired Outcome" Harting D, et al. AMWA Journal. 2016;31:
26 Better NA Added ingredients 6. Perspective from a patient or patient advocacy group regarding patient-level gaps 7. Text or chart showing outcomes data* 8. Evaluation reports from participants in previous activities* *Some practitioners consider these to be part of a basic NA. Harting D, et al. AMWA Journal. 2016;31:
27 Deluxe NA Added ingredients 9. Reference(s) to national healthcare quality standards* 10.Evidence of change measured against a validated quality benchmark *Some practitioners consider these to be part of a basic NA.
