The methodology will be defined and issues related to design, sampling, instrumentation and methods of data analysis discussed. The role of the nurse administrator, when the Delphi methodology is used, will then be addressed. In the second paper, administrative applications of the Delphi methodology will be addressed.

The Delphi methodology (Part Two): A useful administrative approach.

The Delphi methodology can provide nurse administrators with relevant and accurate information to facilitate decision making. This paper, the second of a two part series, familiarizes nurse administrators with the application of the Delphi methodology in needs assessments, priority setting, changes in nursing practice, identification of cost containment approaches, development of effectiveness indicators, values clarification, and forecasting. Examples from the health sciences literature and our experiences in administration are presented to outline appropriate approaches for nurse administrators planning similar applications.
