  • Cost and funding possibilities are critical – need Board input
  • Dan H-R – need to understand statistics around survey. Mary adds is the survey worded clearly?
  • Dan would like an open letter to membership asking for their help (Eric agrees). He would like to develop a consultancy, but knows it’s a daunting task
  • Liz – need to show our project has value which will lead us to partnerships who can provide funding
  • Mary – does anybody see this another way?
  • Brenda – are we using a Press Ganey survey? (https://www.pressganey.com/) Who do we give the survey to?  Likes the idea.  Liz responds – SPM does the survey.  Need to decide who our flagship partners are
  • Jay – have we clearly defined the question we are asking? Liz elaborates.  Need to start with a position paper.  What is it that we know we can do to bring together and unify the ideas we gleaned from interviews
  • Danny – we can capitalize on our abilities as convenors. We can bring together the frameworks from our interviews and use that to give us direction
