A nominal group technique (NGT) was adapted to the virtual world; we purposefully selected a range of professionals (dietitians, nurses, occupational therapists, etc.) and patients with long-term effects of COVID to present them with the most updated evidence and aim to reach key guidelines to address COVID-19 recovery.
We were able to reach consensus statements that were developed and reviewed by relevant healthcare staff at the front line to address the nutritional needs of patients recovering from COVID-19 and those suffering from its long-term effects. This adapted NGT process led us to understand that a virtual repository of concise guidelines and recommendations was needed. This was developed to be freely accessed by both patients recovering from COVID-19 and health professionals who manage them.
We successfully obtained key consensus statements from the adapted NGT, which showed the need for the nutrition and COVID-19 knowledge hub. This hub has been developed, updated, reviewed, endorsed and improved across the subsequent 2 years.
方法:标称组技术(NGT)适应了虚拟世界;我们有目的地选择了一系列专业人员(营养师,护士,职业治疗师,等。)和具有COVID长期影响的患者向他们提供最新的证据,并旨在达到解决COVID-19康复的关键指南。
结果:我们能够达成共识声明,这些声明由一线相关医护人员制定和审查,以解决从COVID-19康复的患者及其长期影响的患者的营养需求。这种适应的NGT过程使我们了解到需要一个简明指南和建议的虚拟存储库。这是由从COVID-19中康复的患者和管理他们的卫生专业人员自由访问的。
结论:我们成功地从改编的NGT获得了关键的共识声明,这表明需要营养和COVID-19知识中心。这个枢纽已经开发出来了,已更新,reviewed,在随后的两年中得到认可和改进。
