"Hello
Sheri and Mike, thanks for shouting out to the Washington State
Health Technology Clinical Committee. Along with the help of organizations
like Delfini providing us with superb evidence reviews, we are
showing a way that the US should follow, in my opinion. I appreciate
your linking your contacts to our work. Best Wishes, Brian"

A
Key Testimonial That Keeps Us Motivated, Inspired & Moving Ahead
...huge difference
in my professional life...now have the confidence...your
workshops help re-ignite for many the real reason they got involved
in pharmacy and medicine in the first place...we definitely can
make a difference!... |
"I
have been meaning to thank you and Mike for all of the training and
insight that you have given me. It really has made a huge difference
in my professional life. For example, this summer I tackled an important
safety debate. It took me many hours, but at the end of the day, I
concluded that we, as a company, needed to make new recommendations.
Without my Delfini training, I would have never had the confidence,
nor been able to develop a convincing case. I know sometimes the jaded
medical world may feel that evidence-based medicine and critical evaluations
are nice academic exercises that rarely, if ever, influence member
safety. We know that this is not the case. Keep carrying the banner
of enlightenment in 2011! Your workshops help reignite for many the
real reason they got involved in pharmacy and medicine in the first
place. We definitely can make a difference..." Name Held in Confidence |

raving
about your training...a pleasure to work with you to make this day
so special for our staff... |
State
of Washington Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) chose Delfini to train their staff and clinicians who conduct
medical necessity and other reviews. Other state employees involved
with improving Washington State’s plan for improving health
care, such as from the Health Care Authority, were also invited.
Testimonial below:
"Mike
and Sheri, I just wanted to thank you once again for the great
job you did today, teaching our staff EBM assessment for validity
and usefulness. You were inspiring to our staff. I just loved
to see how attentive they were and to hear the great questions
that were asked. They were getting your messages! Fantastic.
"People are
raving about your training. I just heard how professional that
it was, that HRSA and the other agencies were presented in style
and the staff really appreciated that. I believe they recognized
that we brought the very best to them, showing that we value
EBM and their work in this area.
"Again, thanks
so much. It was such a pleasure to work with you to make this
day so special for our staff. Siri"

...I fully support
Delfini's approach...I believe it is the right way...I can highly
recommend the Delfini faculty... |
"According
to the Dartmouth Atlas Project, lumbar spine surgery is four times
greater in Idaho than most areas of the country. Recently the Delfini
Group conducted two evidence-based training sessions where Idaho
spine surgeons actively participated in evaluating the evidence
regarding surgery and other modalities for lumbar back pain and
discussed ways to improve patient care in this area.
I believe the evidence-based
approach used by Delfini is the right way to approach inappropriate
variation in healthcare. I fully support Delfini’s step-wise
approach to assessing medical technologies.
If we are to assure
that our patients receive appropriate care, we as health care professionals
must be able to search for and critically appraise the medical literature
and commit to a statement about the quality of the evidence before
making recommendations to others. Only then can we have informed
discussions with our patients and colleagues about reasonable management
strategies. One of the biggest problems in healthcare is that new
diagnostic and therapeutic interventions are instituted without
the support of good science.
I can highly recommend
the Delfini faculty:
- They were extremely
well-prepared and knowledgeable about applied EBM
The lectures and exercises provided a comfortable, non-threatening
environment and were well received by the spine surgeons.
- They are enthusiastic
presenters, knowledgeable, and clearly dedicated to improving
clinical care through the appropriate use of science."
