It is based on the premise that pooled intelligence enhances individual judgement and captures the collective opinion of a group of experts without being physically assembled. The conventional Delphi uses a series of questionnaires to generate expert opinion in an anonymous fashion and takes place over a series of rounds. The technique is becoming a popular strategy that straddles both quantitative and qualitative realms. Issues that are critical to its validity are the development of the questionnaire; definition of consensus and how to interpret non-consensus; criteria for and selection of the expert panel; sample size; and data analysis. The authors used the Delphi technique to assist with making recommendations regarding education and training for medical practitioners working in district hospitals in South Africa. The objective of this Delphi was to obtain consensus opinion on content and methods relating to the maintenance of competence of these doctors. They believe the experience gained from their work may be useful for other health science education researchers wishing to use the Delphi method.

The lack of fully structured emergency care setup has led to increased morbidity and mortality among all types of cases especially in the rural settings. In addition, not all health facilities are well resourced to handle all types of emergencies and cases. Time lost in transferring patients across hospitals reduces their chances of survival. Hence, a need to classify hospitals based on a standard criterion. The Health Emergency Acuity Levels Project (Project HEAL) is a project aimed at developing a robust system that can be used to classify hospitals based on their available resources (e.g. human, equipment and procedures) and can easily be used by the emergency medical (ambulance) services to transport patients to the appropriate hospitals based on the medical needs of the patient. This is being done by developing a ranking system of hospitals based on their available human and medical resources and procedures to handle trauma, surgical, medical, paediatric and obstetrics/gynaecology emergencies. The system of ranking is based on a expert review of all the relevant resources and scored independently using a Delphi approach. The total scores will be used to develop a checklist for which hospitals can independently administer to determine their level of health care provision based on specific specialization and over score. These can then inform the emergency care services, referral facilities, health workers and the general public on which facility provides which level of care. This project is being supported by the Emergency Medicine Society of Ghana (EMSOG) in collaboration with the Swiss Embassy in Ghana. This project has received approval from the Ghana Health Service Ethical Review Committee (GHS-ERC 015/07/20). It is hoped that this project will help to rank hospitals in Ghana based on their resources so that emergency medical (ambulance) services, referrals and the general public can transport patients to appropriate health facilities to receive the care needed in a timely manner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8f3981d1223f5eb6255c26/1607395951591-WUMY1TCJ41OU9P54BFWM/D.+Forson.png About - Name: Dr. Paa Kobina Forson Qualifications: MBChB, MGCS, MPH Institution Affiliation 1: Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital Institution Affiliation 2 : Emergency Medical Society of Ghana Short Bio: Dr. Forson is an Emergency Physician at the Accident and Emergency Centre, Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), Kumasi and the St. Patrick’s Hospital, Offinso.
