Abstract
Practice development focuses on methods to address the quality of care and advance
healthcare practices. The role of practice development facilitators to address challenges of
delivering evidence-based person-centred care in the critical care environment was
determined by using a nominal group technique. Eleven participants from public and
private healthcare services reached consensus on seven clusters: theory-practice application,
facilitation of learning, increasing collaboration, effective communication, facilitation
of change, time management and role modelling. The clusters were visually
represented as a hot air balloon. Competence as facilitators is of vital importance to ensure
knowledge translation with the aim to improve quality.
