Background:
This study aimed to develop consensus on the core elements of the Community Specialist Teams for Older People (CST OP) service model.
Methods:
This study utilised a modified Delphi approach. World Café Focus Groups (n = 97) were facilitated to develop and refine statements which were included in a Real-Time Delphi survey.
Results:
Four key themes were produced from the World Café Focus Groups data: Fundamentals of service design, Access and transitions of care, Team Functions and Quality improvement. Themes produced informed the CST OP Real-Time Delphi survey, which was completed by 77 participants, representing a response rate of 78%.
Conclusion:
The modified Delphi approach has resulted in the refinement and agreement of a set of core CST OP statements that outline the key components of the CST OP service model which will guide future implementation and delivery of the CST OP model of care, ensuring consistency in the design and implementation of the CST OP model.
