Interview Guide: Using the Interview as a Source of Data, Information, and Learning (IHI Tool)
Institute for Healthcare Improvement
Boston , Massachusetts , USA
This tool is useful for anyone who plans to conduct interviews as a means of learning about a topic, assessing current knowledge around an improvement area, or simply evaluating an improvement project. It is simple and generic enough that it can be used in most disciplines. It covers how to select subjects to interview, and how to construct questions that will generate rich responses. The guide includes a discussion of how to structure an interview, how to take notes or to tape the interview, and how to analyze completed interviews. This tool will guide you through the process of planning, conducting, and analyzing interviews.
Background
The Interviewing Guide was developed by Jane Taylor, EdD, in conjunction with her work as an Improvement Advisor for the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.
