NOTES
2 phases 1) past practice and 2) staging the questions for future/best practice
how to get from creating guidelines to implementation? can we make sure to deliver the best practices portion of the charge to ourselves.
central info gathering and dissemination to become aware of all the efforts across many silos, also identifying places where remediation has been happening
we dont know what we dont know? what is underdescribed and how do we figure out the details around past practices?
what could an environmental scan be and what do we mean by an analysis of past practice?
instead of everything we do with description, what if we did a scan of what remediation efforts have happened? what worked or did not work? when our efforts failed what did that look like?
what are our markers of failure?
first step maybe best practices, and then focusing on past practices to figure out what we need to do to remediate. using best practice guidelines to do an analysis of specific practices
