An Emergency Medicine Research Priority Setting Partnership to establish the top 10 research priorities in emergency medicine

Jason Smith et al. Emerg Med J. 2017 Jul.

Abstract

Defining research priorities in a specialty as broad as emergency medicine is a significant challenge. In order to fund and complete the most important research projects, it is imperative that we identify topics that are important to all clinicians, society and to our patients. We have undertaken a priority setting partnership to establish the most important questions facing emergency medicine. The top 10 questions reached through a consensus process are discussed.

Keywords: James Lind Alliance; priority setting partnership.
