  • We chose participants that we knew would be willing to

share information, to ask questions and to participate in the discussions

  • It’s very interactive and open
  • We record the meetings but they are shared only with

the participants in the group

  • We have created a team that is comfortable coming to

us and to other members of the group – and we know we can reach out to them too Why does the Focus Group Work?

  • Based on discussions the group has had, we’ve been

able to apply this knowledge several ways: – Most importantly, they help us understand the program from the perspective of the provider – Offer information in weekly ListServ messages – Include comments in NPRM comment submission – Create documents to benefit others

  • Public Health Registry Information
  • Acceptable Auditing Supporting Documentation
  • MU Dental Feasibility Chart
  • The focus group members have become resources for
