作者描述了一系列焦点小组和逐步修订的讨论文件对南澳大利亚州医疗改革评估的贡献。重点小组向评价人员通报了参与者关于改革对其机构的影响的经验，同时使他们能够更好地了解卫生系统的变化。在第一个焦点小组之前编写了一份讨论文件，描述了全球卫生服务趋势和我们评价的新发现，随后进行了修订，以便在发送给下一个小组之前纳入参与者的意见。结果形成了一份加强了与会者讨论并反映了他们的观点的文件。作为一种基于行动研究的方法，这种迭代过程对参与者和评估都有价值，并支持组织学习。
The authors describe the contribution of a series of focus groups and a progressively revised discussion paper to the evaluation of health care reform in South Australia. The focus groups informed the evaluation about participants' experiences of the impact of reform on their agencies while enabling increased understanding about change in the health system. A discussion paper describing global health service trends and emerging findings from our evaluation was prepared prior to the first focus group and subsequently revised to incorporate participants' comments before being sent to the next group. The result was a paper that enhanced participants' discussion, and reflected their views. As an action research-based method, this iterative process was valuable for participants and the evaluation, and supported organizational learning.
