Focus groups are small groups of individuals selected because of a common characteristic who are
invited to meet as a group and respond to questions on a topic about which they are expected to have
interest or expertise. Stakeholders are any person, group, or organization that has a vested interest in
the program or project under review. Stakeholder assessments consist of a would-be group of people
with similar experiences who come together to discuss their experiences at an institution in the hope
that the discussion will lead to insights or information that might not have been considered by the
health care team, but could be used for improving care or marketing service in the future. Managerial
epidemiology is the ability to effectively manage the health of a population with the broadest set of
resources available.
