Increases likelihood of effecting practice
Example From Practice
The Ministry of Health and Long Term Care has suggested taking pediatric intubation out of Advance Care Paramedic scope of practice. Paramedics have previously initiated research trials with the intent to prove paramedics can successfully intubate pediatrics. This overt bias is detrimental to the findings of these trials.

As we are a large program team we will often perform program meetings asynchronously on the Slack app. All team members can easily see what has been discussed. Further, discussion can continue over a much longer period of time.

Burning Questions
How do time constraints play a role in collaborative inquiry? Do groups end up folding before reaching resolution? Or do groups simply 'satisfice' the first best solution when constrained by time?
Can groups truly perform the entire collaborative inquiry process online? Can groups actually establish the dynamics necessary in an online environment to work cohesively together?
How do we avoid letting personal and group bias dictate our attempts at problem identification?
