We describe the process undertaken to inform the development of the recently launched British Columbia (BC) Emergency Medicine Network (EM Network). Five methods were undertaken: (1) a scoping literature review, (2) a survey of BC emergency practitioners and EM residents, (3) key informant interviews, (4) focus groups in sites across BC, and (5) establishment of a brand identity. There were 208 survey respondents: 84% reported consulting Internet resources once or more per emergency department shift; however, 26% reported feeling neutral, somewhat unsatisfied, or very unsatisfied with searching for information on the Internet to support their practice. Enthusiasm was expressed for envisioned EM Network resources, and the key informant interviews and focus group results helped identify and refine key desired components of the EM Network. In describing this, we provide guidance and lessons learned for health leaders and others who aspire to establish similar clinical networks, whether in EM or other medical disciplines.
我们描述了为推动近期启动的不列颠哥伦比亚省(BC)急诊医学网络(EM网络)的发展所采取的过程。采取了五种方法:(1)范围界定文献综述,(2)对BC急诊从业者和急诊医学住院医师的调查,(3)关键信息提供者访谈,(4)在BC各地开展焦点小组讨论,以及(5)建立品牌标识。共有208名受访者参与了调查:84%的人表示每个急诊室班次会查阅互联网资源一次或更多次;然而,26%的人表示在通过互联网搜索信息以支持其工作时感觉中立、有些不满意或非常不满意。受访者对设想中的EM网络资源表示出热情,关键信息提供者访谈和焦点小组讨论的结果有助于确定并完善EM网络的关键期望组成部分。在此过程中,我们为卫生领域领导者及其他有志于建立类似临床网络的人士(无论是在急诊医学领域还是其他医学学科)提供了指导和经验教训。
