A multidisciplinary department at a College of Pharmacy utilized a multi-step consensus-building process to create a shared departmental definition of community engagement that was consistent with the department’s mission and vision. Throughout the consensus building and engaged department process, faculty and staff were given opportunities to participate in community-engaged work and departmental activities, including updates in regular scheduled department meetings. This allowed faculty to have a reference and common understanding of the concept of community engagement when striving towards outlined promotion objectives. A shared understanding of what constitutes community engagement was necessary to ensure that all members of the interdisciplinary department are working toward a common goal and shared vision.   Article Type: Original Research

The statement was developed by the Committee on Practice and Ambulatory Medicine (of which I was then chairman) with the approval and support of the American Academy of Pediatrics' Executive Board. It was designed to respond to the needs of the membership for direction and guidance in this area of practice activity. Establishing organizational policy on an issue such as this for which there are no hard data requires a consensus building process where expert opinion is solicited, competing views are evaluated, and a thoughtful position is fashioned. Our committee, at all times, sought substance, fairness, and balance in formulating the content of this statement.

Objective.Patient participation in research is increasing; however, practical guidelines to enhance this participation are lacking. Specifically within the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) organization, although patients have participated in OMERACT meetings since 2002, consensus about the procedures for involving patients in working groups has not been formalized. The objective is to develop a set of recommendations regarding patient research partner (PRP) involvement in research working groups.Methods.We conducted a systematic literature review on recommendations/guidelines of PRP involvement in research; elaborated a structured consensus process involving multiple participants to develop a set of recommendations; and sought endorsement of recommendations by OMERACT.Results.In the 18 articles included in the literature review, there was general agreement on the broad concepts for recommendations covering PRP involvement in research although they were heterogeneous in detail. Most considered PRP involvement in all phases of research with early engagement, training, and support important, but details on the content were scarce. This review informed a larger consensus-building process regarding PRP inclusion in OMERACT research. Three overarching principles and 8 recommendations were developed, discussed, and refined at OMERACT 2014. The guiding principles were endorsed during the OMERACT plenary session.Conclusion.These recommendations for PRP involvement in OMERACT research reinforce the importance of patient participation throughout the research process as integral members. Although the applicability of the recommendations in other research contexts should be assessed, the generalizability is expected to be high. Future research should evaluate their implementation and their effect on outcome development.

After pressure equipment (aka fixed or static equipment) is designed, fabricated, and constructed to ASME new construction codes and standards (C/S), it is delivered and placed in-service. After that the In-service Inspection (ISI) and Post-Construction C/S begin to govern. Within the ASME, the Post Construction Committee (PCC) produces and maintains the standards that govern equipment after it has been placed inservice. Within the API Standards Organization, the Subcommittee on Inspection (SCI) and the Corrosion and Materials Subcommittee (CMSC) produce and maintain most of the ISI standards and recommended practices that govern pressure equipment in the refining and chemical process industry. This paper shows how many of those ISI and PCC C/S are intended to work together to maintain the safety and reliability of pressure equipment and piping after it has been placed in service. This paper also highlights what’s new with many of these C/S that have been recently updated or newly published. Both the API and ASME use the rigorous, standardized consensus building process outlined by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for formulating and publishing their respective C/S. This paper will show how users of these ISI/PCC codes and standards are benefited by the application of the ANSI consensus process.
