Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop Delphi methodology toward a holistic method for forecasting market change. Delphi methodology experienced its culmination in marketing research during the 1970s–1980s, but still has much to offer to both marketing scholars and practitioners in contexts where future market changes are associated with ambiguity and uncertainty. Design/methodology/approach This study revives the Delphi methodology by exemplifying how a recently developed framework on market change can be combined with the Delphi technique for data collection to support forecasting activities and research. The authors demonstrate the benefits of the improved methodology in an empirical study on the impact of the fifth generation of wireless communications technologies (5G) on the Finnish media market. Findings The developed methodological approach aids marketing scholars in categorizing and analyzing the data collected for capturing market change; and better guiding experts/respondents to provide holistic projections of future market change. The authors show that using a predefined theoretical framework in combination with the Delphi method for data collection and analysis is beneficial for studying future market change. Originality/value This paper develops Delphi methodology and contributes with a novel methodological approach to assessing market change.

Abstract:

This paper presents the Delphi methodology employed to select a final dashboard of 30 indicators on the socio-educative inclusion of refugee and migrant children in Europe. Firstly, a procedure for identifying Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) was carried out, including a specialized scientific literature review, the mapping of previous indicators, and qualitative workshops with key stakeholders at micro, meso, and macro levels in six countries. Then, a Delphi design was implemented to assess, rate, and provide meaningful qualitative improvements to a pool of pre-selected indicators. The Delphi methodology involved a group of international experts on the matters of inclusive education or migration, researchers, NGOs, and public officers. As an alternative to traditional "benchmark-based" consensus, we introduced the use of a) the CARA model and b) an alternative multi-input and mixed-method consensus-building procedure. The results provided a significant contribution to qualitative methods on the one hand and to migration and integration literature on the other. The methodological innovations, the diversity of experts' perspectives involved in the process, and the structured nature of the method constituted significant advantages to improve the robustness of the Delphi methodology for selecting and validating indicators. Future research involving a Delphi methodology can benefit from applying the present procedure.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to empirically evaluate the critical factors for successful quality engineering (QE) implementation in automotive-related companies in Malaysia and Indonesia. The existence of these critical factors for the successful application of QE would help the automotive industries, especially in Malaysia and Indonesia, to be able to investigate their current QE practices and how they could be improved. Design/methodology/approach – Delphic hierarchy process (DHP) methodology is used in this study. The DHP method is a combination of the Delphi method and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) approach for determining the ranking of the factors and sub factors needed for successful QE implementation. The Delphi method is employed to gather data from automotive experts in both countries and the AHP approach is used to rank the critical factors for success of QE practices. Findings – The findings of this study showed that the automotive industries in Malaysia and Indonesia stressed the importance of management responsibility and people management for the successful implementation of QE. Strategic quality planning, continuous improvement, and technology- and production-related resources are the most important sub factors for successful QE in both countries. Research limitations/implications – The series of rounds that took place during the Delphi method increased the length of time required for data collection and the follow-up process. On the basis of the consideration given, the limited resources included time, financial resources, and technical availability for this study, which resulted in the small sample sizes used. Practical implications – The ranking of the critical factors and sub factors for QE implementation could be useful for automotive-related companies in Malaysia and Indonesia to create action plans for improving their QE implementation. Originality/value – The instrument that was developed is a contribution toward characterizing critical factors for QE. Using DHP methodology, nine factors and 31 sub factors have been validated through a series of rounds of the Delphi method. It was developed based on industry experts’ inputs. Therefore, the critical factors represent actual situation for QE success.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the research design, issues and considerations in the application of the Delphi technique to identify, refine and rate the critical success factors and performance measures in maintenance-associated infections. Design/methodology/approach In-depth literature review through the application of open and axial coding were applied to formulate the interview and research questions. These were used to conduct an exploratory case study of two healthcare maintenance managers, randomly selected from two National Health Service Foundation Trusts in England. The results of exploratory case study provided the rationale for the application of the Delphi technique in this research. The different processes in the application of the Delphi technique in healthcare research are examined thoroughly. Findings This research demonstrates the need to apply and integrate different research methods to enhance the validity of the Delphi technique. The rationale for the application of the Delphi technique in this research is because some healthcare maintenance managers lack knowledge about basic infection control (IC) principles to make hospitals safe for patient care. The result of first round of the Delphi exercise is a useful contribution in its own rights. It identified a number of salient issues and differences in the opinions of the Delphi participants, noticeably between healthcare maintenance managers and members of the infection control team. It also resulted in useful suggestions and comments to improve the quality and presentation of the second- and third-round Delphi instruments. Practical implications This research provides a research methodology that can be adopted by researchers investigating new and emerging issues in the healthcare sector. As this research demonstrates, the Delphi technique is relevant in soliciting expert knowledge and opinion to identify performance measures to control maintenance-associated infections in hospitals. The methodology provided here could be applied by other researchers elsewhere to probe, investigate and generate rich information about new and emerging healthcare research topics. Originality/value The authors demonstrate how different research methods can be integrated to enhance the validity of the Delphi technique. For example, the results of an exploratory case study provided the rationale for the application of the Delphi technique investigating the key performance measures in maintenance-associated infections. The different processes involved in the application of the Delphi technique are also carefully explored and discussed in depth.

Abstract:

Delphi multi-round survey is a procedure that has been widely and successfully used to aggregate experts’ opinions about some previously established statements or questions. Such opinions are usually expressed as real numbers and some commentaries. The evolution of the consensus can be shown by an increase in the agreement percentages, and a decrease in the number of comments made. A consensus is reached when this percentage exceeds a certain previously set threshold. If this threshold has not been reached, the moderator modifies the questionnaire according to the comments he/she has collected, and the following round begins. In this paper, a new fuzzy Delphi method is introduced. On the one hand, the experts’ subjective judgments are collected as fuzzy numbers, enriching the approach. On the other hand, such opinions are collected through a computerized application that is able to interpret the experts’ opinions as fuzzy numbers. Finally, we employ a recently introduced fuzzy ranking methodology, satisfying many properties according to human intuition, in order to determine whether the expert’s fuzzy opinion is favorable enough (comparing with a fixed fuzzy number that indicates Agree or Strongly Agree). A cross-cultural validation was performed to illustrate the applicability of the proposed method. The proposed approach is simple for two reasons: it does not need a defuzzification step of the experts’ answers, and it can consider a wide range of fuzzy numbers not only triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) is a technically demanding procedure, but without consensus regarding essential steps and assessment of surgical technique. The objective of this study was to determine expert consensus on essential steps in MIE as a first step in the development of an ‘esophagectomy-specific objective structured assessment of technical skills’ tool (E-OSATS). Methods Essential steps were defined for both MIE with intrathoracic- and cervical anastomosis, based on local expert opinion, peer-reviewed literature and surgical textbooks. In round table discussion disparities between experts were resolved, and an online Delphi questionnaire was sent to an international expert panel of minimally invasive upper GI surgeons. Based on replies and comments steps were adjusted and resent in iterative fashion. Results A total of 137 and 138 essential steps were identified for the MIE with intrathoracic- and cervical anastomosis respectively. After the first Delphi round 24 out of 36 (67%) invited international experts replied, and consensus was reached in 99 out of 137 (72%) and 95 out of 138 steps for both procedures respectively. Conclusion A Delphi method seems feasible in determining essential steps as a first step in the development of an E-OSATS for both MIE with intrathoracic- and cervical anastomosis. The second Delphi round is currently pending. Disclosure All authors have declared no conflicts of interest.

Abstract:

Objective: The Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act calls for establishing a competency-based training program to train public health practitioners. To inform such training, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Association of Schools of Public Health managed groups of experts to produce a competency model which could function as a national standard of behaviorally based, observable skills for the public health workforce to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from all hazards.Design: A systematic review of existing competency models generated a competency model of proposed domains and competencies.Participants: National stakeholders were engaged to obtain consensus through a three-stage Delphi-like process.Results: The Delphi-like process achieved 84 percent, 82 percent, and 79 percent response rates in its three stages. Three hundred sixty six unique individuals responded to the three-round process, with 45 percent (n = 166) responding to all three rounds. The resulting competency model features 18 competencies within four core learning domains targeted at midlevel public health workers.Conclusions: Practitioners and academics have adopted the Public Health Preparedness and Response Core Competency Model, some of whom have formed workgroups to develop curricula based on the model. Efforts will be needed to develop evaluation materials for training and education programs to refine the model as well as for future training and education initiatives.

Abstract:

“The Pause” was first practiced by a nurse at a Level 1 trauma center to honor the death of a deceased patient. This practice has spread internationally and is used in emergency departments, intensive care, transplant, and oncology units, in addition to pre-hospital settings. There is a paucity of research published on the effects of The Pause for health care workers. We used a three-staged Delphi methodology to understand the barriers, benefits, and language used in The Pause. Analyses of email communication and interview transcripts suggest that The Pause poses minimal risk and has considerable benefits. Benefits include increased perceived team cohesion, a moment for reflection, and a method by which to honor a deceased patient. The Pause allows nurses to feel more present to meet the needs of the next patient they care for during a shift. Further research is merited.

Abstract:

The Dispatcher-Assisted first REsponder programme aims to equip the public with skills to perform hands-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and to use an automated external defibrillator (AED). By familiarising them with instructions given by a medical dispatcher during an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest call, they will be prepared and empowered to react in an emergency. We aim to formalise curriculum and standardise the way information is conveyed to the participants. A panel of 20 experts were chosen. Using Delphi methodology, selected issues were classified into open-ended and close-ended questions. Consensus for an item was established at a 70% agreement rate within the panel. Questions that had 60%–69% agreement were edited and sent to the panel for another round of voting. After 2 rounds of voting, 70 consensus statements were agreed upon. These covered the following: focus of CPR; qualities and qualifications of trainers; recognition of agonal breathing; head-tilt-chin lift; landmark for chest compression; performance of CPR when injuries are present; trainers’ involvement in training lay people; modesty of female patients during CPR; AED usage; content of trainer’s manual; addressing of questions and answers; updates-dissemination to trainers and attendance of refresher courses. Recommendations for pedagogy for trainers of dispatcher-assisted CPR programmes were developed.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Evidence suggests that simulation leads to improved operative skill, shorter operating room time, and better patient outcomes. Currently, no standardized laparoscopy curriculum exists for gynecology residents. Objective To design a structured laparoscopy curriculum for gynecology residents using Delphi consensus methodology. Methods This study began with Delphi methodology to determine expert consensus on the components of a gynecology laparoscopic skills curriculum. We generated a list of cognitive content, technical skills, and nontechnical skills for training in laparoscopic surgery, and asked 39 experts in gynecologic education to rate the items on a Likert scale (1–5) for inclusion in the curriculum. Consensus was predefined as Cronbach α of ≥ 0.80. We then conducted another Delphi survey with 9 experienced users of laparoscopic virtual reality simulators to delineate relevant curricular tasks. Finally, a cross-sectional design defined benchmark scores for all identified tasks, with 10 experienced gynecologic surgeons performing the identified tasks at basic, intermediate, and advanced levels. Results Consensus (Cronbach α = 0.85) was achieved in the first round of the curriculum Delphi, and after 2 rounds (Cronbach α = 0.80) in the virtual reality curriculum Delphi. Consensus was reached for cognitive, technical, and nontechnical skills as well as for 6 virtual reality tasks. Median time and economy of movement scores defined benchmarks for all tasks. Conclusions This study used Delphi consensus to develop a comprehensive curriculum for teaching gynecologic laparoscopy. The curriculum conforms to current educational standards of proficiency-based training, and is suggested as a standard in residency programs.

Abstract:

Environmental problems have spatial origins and consequences. Hence, effective stakeholder participation demands the integration of comprehensive facilities for understanding the spatial components that affect environmental change. This study develops the Collaborative Spatial Delphi (CSD) methodology to embed spatial thinking, conceptualise the dynamic mechanisms, and assess the effectiveness of the resulting participatory process. The CSD uses a collaborative geographic information system (GIS) and the Delphi procedure in a descriptive decision-making framework that integrates diverse stakeholder knowledge for spatial awareness, understanding, and negotiated outcomes. The CSD synthesises relevant theories to conceptualise the participation mechanisms, and an application of the methodology to urban green spaces planning in Montreal, Canada is presented. The results suggest that a deficiency in technical background is not a barrier to effective use of spatial technology in participatory planning. The methodology enhanced many spatial facets of the participation process and was evaluated as effective in achieving negotiated outcomes.

Abstract:

A detailed model of a die-up 256-pin Plastic Ball Grid Array (PBGA) package was created and validated against experimental data for natural convection and forced convection environments. Next, four compact models were derived; two two-resistor models (one created through a two-point computational cold plate test; the other using the DELPHI optimization approach), a multi-resistor Star network model and a shunt network model. The latter three models were derived using the methodology established by the DELPHI (Development of Libraries of Physical models for an Integrated design environment) project. The four compact models and the detailed model were each placed in natural convection and forced convection (velocities of 1,2, and 4 m/s) environments. Good agreement was obtained for the die-junction temperature rise for both the detailed and the shunt compact models. The star and two-resistor models were seen to be inferior in terms of accuracy. The two-resistor model created using the DELPHI methodology was found to be superior compared to the one created with the computational cold-plate test. The star model showed little gain in performance as compared to the DELPHI two-resistor model.

Abstract:

PurposeThis article presents an introduction to the Delphi method and review of Delphi studies published in the literature of library and information science (LIS).Design/methodology/approachA review of Delphi studies published between the years of 1971 and 2019 is performed, using studies retrieved from the Library and Information Science Source database. A total of 122 articles were retrieved and evaluated based on the population studied, means of identifying experts, number of participants for each study round, type of Delphi, and type of findings.FindingsGeneral librarians (any type), academic librarians, and information science researchers are the most common populations in LIS Delphi studies. On average (middle 50 percent of studies), 14–36 experts are used in the first round of LIS Delphi studies (median n = 23). Employment in a specific role and publications in scholarly journals are the most common means of identifying experts. Variants of the e-Delphi (online survey/email) method are increasingly common, particularly in LIS Delphi studies that focus on general information science, rather than library, topics. Though LIS Delphi studies are relatively few in number, they have a consistent record of being published in some of the most prestigious LIS journals.Originality/valueThis paper provides an introduction to the Delphi method for LIS research and presents an overview of existing literature in LIS that utilizes the research method. No overview of this extent exists in the LIS literature, and, thus, this paper may serve as an important information source about the method for LIS researchers.

Abstract:

Purpose Medical equipment’s supply chains play a vital role in performance of national 1healthcare systems. This supply chain is confronted with different internal and external risks. The purpose of this study is to investigate and find the key factors affecting the resilience of the supply chain of medical equipment and to examine the dynamic relations among these factors. Design/methodology/approach A hybrid methodology is used for meeting the purpose of this study. First, the Delphi method is extended by using hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets to identify the key factors of supply chain resilience. At the second phase, using the system dynamic methodology, the dynamic relations among identified resilience factors are analyzed. Findings Using the Delphi method, agility, collaboration among actors, sharing of information, trust among actors, explicitness of supply chain, risk management culture, adaptability, structure, funding and environment conditions are identified as ten major factors affecting medical equipment’s supply chain resilience. Also, four scenarios are simulated along with their impacts on the system. Originality/value The main contribution of this study is extending a hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets-based Delphi and applying it along a system dynamic analysis to identify the key factors affecting resilience of medical equipment’s supply chain for the first time.

Abstract:

The daily requirements and needs imposed on the executors of logistics services imply the need for a higher level of quality. In this, the proper execution of all sustainability processes and activities plays an important role. In this paper, a new methodology for improving the measurement of the quality of the service consisting of three phases has been developed. The first phase is the application of the Delphi method to determine the quality dimension ranking. After that, in the second phase, using the FUCOM (full consistency method), we determined the weight coefficients of the quality dimensions. The third phase represents determining the level of quality using the SERVQUAL (service quality) model, or the difference between the established gaps. The new methodology considers the assessment of the quality dimensions of a large number of participants (customers), on the one hand, and experts’ assessments on the other hand. The methodology was verified through the research carried out in an express post company. After processing and analyzing the collected data, the Cronbach alpha coefficient for each dimension of the SERVQUAL model for determining the reliability of the response was calculated. To determine the validity of the results and the developed methodology, an extensive statistical analysis (ANOVA, Duncan, Signum, and chi square tests) was carried out. The integration of certain methods and models into the new methodology has demonstrated greater objectivity and more precise results in determining the level of quality of sustainability processes and activities.

Abstract:

Introduction: Essential nutrients such as iron and B12 have been established as vital components required for hematopoiesis. Patients are at risk of significant comorbidity when these are deficient, including hematologic manifestations and neurological deficits. B12 supplementation is relatively easy to use with no direct adverse effects. Current guidelines use a singular serum cobalamin level < 150 pmol that is static in nature and not adjusted based on patients' underlying age, comorbidities or medications. Many studies have shown symptoms related to deficiency can appear prior to reaching current biochemical definition of deficiency . Methylmalonic acid can be used to detect B12 deficiency earlier, with a sensitivity of approximately 95% however it's utility is limited due to lack of confidence in interpreting it's results and lack of availability . Also, little guidance is provided to clinicians in choosing a method and duration of supplementation in guidelines. Objective : The primary objective of this study was to establish an expert based consensus recommendations for the diagnosis of B12 deficiency using different biochemical tests while accounting for various comorbidities in diverse patient populations. The secondary objective was to provide recommendations around appropriate and cost-effective B12 supplementation when indicated. Methods : A detailed literature review was used to generate evidence based statements around diagnostic thresholds for B12 deficiency in various populations as well as guidelines to determine current target doses. A modified Delphi approach was used to evaluate the statements amongst 28 experts in various specialities, including biochemistry, general internal medicine, hematology, nephrology, gastroenterology, geriatrics, obstetrics/gynaecology and paediatrics. Two online survey cycles were performed. Only statements reaching consensus (score >7 by more than 70 % of the experts and a Cronbach's alpha statistic > 0.80) were included in the final iteration . Statements with a score of 5 or greater by <50% of the total respondents were discarded. Statements that were in between these ranges were adjusted based on comments and these new statements were disseminated for round two. Results: After the first cycle consensus was reached for 20 out of 21 of the statements (Table 1). Based on feedback 1 statement was split and one new statement was added. Only one statement, which was around the use of methylmalonic acid as an adjunct to diagnose B12 deficiency, did not meet consensus after the second cycle. A total of 22 statements achieved the pre-determined cut-off for consensus at the end of round two. An opt out rate of 28- 72 % was observed in statements made regarding the obstetric and paediatrics' population compared to less than 25 percent in all other statements. Discussion: This guideline provides a summary of B12 diagnostic and treatment threshold for various population that is both supported by existing literature and expert opinion. The high rate of consensus in our first round appears to be due to comfort around prescribing and overall safety of B12 supplementation. Statements made around methods of supplementation and duration were widely accepted. Most clinicians agreed that oral replacement was sufficient for patients unless there was evidence of neurological symptoms or previous gastric surgery . This is important given recent literature indicating the high cost Ontario faces due to inappropriate intramuscular B12 prescribing . A high opt out rate was noted in statements predominately geared towards the paediatric and obstetrical patient population which may be due to discomfort around prescribing in specific populations by general clinicians. Using a modified Delphi methodology, we were able to obtain consensus around adjusted diagnostics thresholds for identifying B12 deficiency in patients with varying comorbidities and metabolic demands. We devised guidance around treatment modalities and timelines to decrease the risk of supplementations faced by patients and potentially the health care system. We hope that these statements can be used as a framework for clinicians in all specialities to provide individualized, evidence based care.
