Present:   Levi Bonnell, Justine Dee, Juvena Hitt, Jen Lavoie, Ben Littenberg, Paula Reynolds, Gail Rose, Liliane Savard, Adam Sprouse-Blum, Connie van Eeghen (10)

 1.                   Warm Up: So good to see Paula Reynolds again!

2.                   CvE JGIM Paper: The original manuscript was submitted in response to a “Call for Papers” from JGIM, in collaboration with PCORI and the VA:

a.       Title: Patients, clinicians and researchers cocreate a PPG: development (drop influencing an intervention)

                                                   i.      Present as a qualitative investigation into the process of developing a guide collaboratively

1.       Data: field notes, group meetings

2.       Participatory action research: involving the individuals of the study in the study and the researchers as partners (EQUATOR format is SRQR)

b.       Introduction

                                                   i.      Needs a gap: why do this

1.       Third para: tie the first two together – this PPG doesn’t exist.  Therefore, we…

2.       Most QI focuses on the clinic or the medical process and don’t include the patient

                                                 ii.      If focusing on methodology used for development of PPG, make it clear

1.       Consider using SRQR as well as TIDieR

c.       Methods

                                                   i.      Put the Rationale into the Introduction – responds to Levi’s comment

                                                 ii.      “This is a participant action research, qualitative research, intervention whatever…”

1.       Include this in the abstract

                                               iii.      PPG Development

1.       First phase: development

2.       Second phase: gathering data on how it was received

3.       What the Engagement Team is doing, who exactly, is unclear

4.       Two audiences, leaders and patients; what about the clinicians

                                               iv.      PPG Content and Delivery

1.       What is the intervention; not consistent

a.       Put earlier

b.       Use “intervention” only to reference PPG; maybe Venn diagram; make it part of the Intro and don’t mention after that

c.       Look at PCORI articles related to “engagement tools”

                                                 v.      Data Collection and Evaluation

1.       Include use of PPG by clinics

d.       Results

                                                   i.      First sentence of this section (also earlier) is a list – make a diagram or table?

                                                 ii.      Keep Figure 5

                                               iii.      “Feedback from clinics” – include in Methods

                                               iv.      Engagement process results: what was included; tools were used to refine the work at a detailed level based on MCC’s thoughts, ideas, reactions having long term, complex issues and worked to include their concerns and sensitivities

1.       Describe, in the results, how it was made more specific to the MCC community

                                                 v.      Take out Fig 1

e.       Next step

                                                   i.      We invented this cool, useful too, and here’s how we invented it, and here’s how it was used; and you can do this too; the tool is available

1.       Could spin it as: we wondered what would be the experience of various observers of the creation of the tool, so this is retrospective qualitative research to figure out what this was like from the point of view of various constituencies.  Backdoor strategy and not the story we wanted to tell

2.       Connie to call the editor

f.        Thanks to all who helped us get this far!

3.                   Next week:  TBD
