My opinion about the use of focus groups to gather qualitative data in either hospitals or physician specialty groups is they are very helpful. It is also inexpensive and provides individuals with the platform to provide responses that are their honest opinions. Participants are able to build on other participants ideas by “piggybacking”. Focus groups are useful in needs assessments and evaluation of projects by gathering individuals and asking them about their attitudes towards an idea, concept or product. These questions are normally open-ended and the facilitator steers the focus back to the discussions. This environment helps with the interaction of participant.

In my opinion, using focus groups to gather qualitative data in healthcare units will be an effective technique, because these group members can give insights about the healthcare services, methods and treatments, and behaviors or attitudes of the staff members and physicians. Whereas, physician specialty groups may hide their flaws and only focus on what doesn’t affect their power. For unbiased and genuine research and study, I would prefer focus groups with consideration of all the areas of the units.
