How to Conduct an Environmental Scan
Conducting an environmental scan to identify a healthcare innovation is a key assignment in a course I teach regularly. I put together an infographic to help articulate the key steps involved as well as the purpose of a scan and how it can be used. Skills that students would need to master in order to effectively conduct a scan include identification of purpose, literature and internet search strategies, distinguishing credible information sources, synthesizing and summarizing key ideas, and making recommendations based on their findings.
