Blog 14 - Third Interview Preparation

What is the best way to minimize Emergency Department overcrowding?



  1. Who do you plan to interview?  What is this person's area of expertise?
    1. I plan to interview my mentor's boss, the director of the ED. He has a similar experience as my mentor and has probably more of a hand in the structuring of the department. I have contacted my mentor to get in touch with his boss, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet.
  2. Verify that you have called your interviewee to schedule an interview.  What is the date and time of the interview? 
    1. I haven't scheduled one yet.
  3. Phrase an open-ended question that will help you find research resources that would help to answer the EQ.
    1. Do you, or anyone you know, subscribe to any journals that deal with hospital/emergency department management?
  4. Phrase an open-ended question that will help you think about other useful activities you might do to help you answer the EQ (IC2, possible experts to talk to, etc).
    1. Who do you believe has the most influence over hospital policies about overcrowding?
  5. Phrase two open-ended questions that help you to understand your interviewee's perspective on an aspect of your EQ.
    1. How do you think overcrowding has affected this department?
    2. What do you think is the biggest issue facing emergency departments state/nationwide?
The interview transcript  is due to turnitin.com with the 5-minute audio excerpt and entry to the blog on Friday, February 19th. In addition, you need to turn in the verification sheet to your house teacher
