    Author: King EC, Breegle GG.
    Journal: J Allied Health; 1983 May; 12(2):103-16. PubMed ID: 6688250.
    Abstract:
    Higher education state coordinating bodies are faced with the difficult task of developing coherent strategies and priorities for planning. To assist in this planning a needs assessment procedure involving administrators, faculty/clinicians, and students was used, and driving and restraining forces relevant to decision making were identified. The Nominal Group Technique was used to identify each population's needs which related to a statewide system for allied health education. The technique ordered the needs of each population. A kendall coefficient of concordance was calculated to test the hypothesis that there was no association between the ranks within a population. Needs were placed in two categories: those common to all three populations, and those unique to one population. Six needs common to the population were identified. Finally, the study reranked the six common needs according to perceived attainability.
