We have numerous options to help you achieve truly becoming an evidence- and value-based organization including evaluating your system for quality as well as applying strategies for specific quality improvements. We offer help for healthcare leaders and specific help for medical leadership. We provide medical education resources to help with all aspect of clinical improvement work including critical appraisal to accomplish medical literature evaluation and tips for effective help for medical decision-making, and more. We also work with groups who have learned the basic concepts, methods, processes, skills and tools of evidence-based medicine (EBM) to go to further levels in changing their culture and more deeply embedding the application of evidence- and value-based medicine into their structures and specific care processes.

We are working with groups to help them begin the work of clinical process improvement and redesign, helping them convene small teams charged with tackling specific clinical questions to help you close gaps in your systems and to effectively implement, manage and measure clinical change in these areas.

Selected by Kaiser Permanente Hawaii to help advance and embed evidence-based clinical improvements more solidly and more broadly into their organization. Read about the Chronic Kidney Disease Clinical Guidelnes project.

"I have had the privilege and honor to be part of a group of physicians and pharmacists who are developing practice guidelines for the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD)....Our organization’s leadership arranged to have the Delfini Group serve as consultants to this team, based on their prior collaborative work and Delfini’s successful track records....our CKD group has been extremely impressed by their knowledge, organization and planful guidance. As a team, they are very skillful at facilitating teleconferences, with focused discussions and action-planning. On July 13, 2005, Mike and Sheri came to Honolulu to conduct a full-day training in critical appraisal of the medical literature, foundation skills for any EBM practice. They have developed a wealth of tools, including checklists, process-flow models, reading and writing tips and evidence grading tools, to help even a novice reviewer feel that he can unlock the 'mysteries of medical mumbo-jumbo' to read between the lines and separate the wheat from the chaff....Mike and Sheri are gifted facilitators and passionate educators. I have rarely encountered workshop presenters who are so well-prepared and well-versed in their subject matter. Both are engaging, up-beat, and empowering in their presentations.

Mike and Sheri have also developed a package of teachable skills for conducting meetings, teleconferences and minute-taking. These skills include how to develop agendas and templates for minutes, keep discussions focused, build consensus, and achieve clarity among participants. In fact, they were recently invited to do such a training for a large organization...." Carrie Mukaida, MS, RD, CSR, Renal Nutritionist, KP Nephrology Division
