Experiences needing improvement according to the participants in the program: NGT session. Eighteen people participated in the NGT session on the last day of the OMERACT and allocated either 3, 2, or 1 dots (equal to score of 3, 2, or 1) from the most pertinent to the third most pertinent experience needing improvement; total does not add to the exact multiple because some people did not use all dots.
| Experience Needing Improvement | Score |
|---|---|
| 2. Facilitation issue during breakouts (objectives not clear; participation from all participants not encouraged) | 55 |
| 3. Biased voting (potential conflict of interest: do not lead the session when you have a conflict of interest with the instrument being voted on) | 17 |
| 4. Overall burden of core set instruments vs feasibility of each instrument | 11 |
| 5. Context of the workshop not being clear | 11 |
| 1. Methodology/statistics gaps | 9 |
