One way to ensure your meetings stay on track is to use an agenda. While this may seem straightforward, depending on your meeting’s goal, one type of agenda might be more appropriate than another.  \nBelow, we’ve summarized three common agendas, and provided guidance on which one might be the best fit for your next meeting. In the following pages, we provide more details on each agenda. Regardless of the agenda you choose, however, best practice is sharing it in advance so everyone understands the meeting’s purpose and can prepare.  \nThree common agenda types  \nGood for Agenda  \nmeet ings w ith Overview type  \nConsent  \nUpdate  \n\n| • | Consolidate agenda items | • | Focus on 1-2 topics to | • | Share multiple updates |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  | that require minimal attention |  | discuss in-depth in small |  | and cover agenda items |\n|  | and vote to approve at once |  | groups and provide feedback |  | on several topics at once |\n| • | Routine updates and uncontroversial issues | • | Topics where you need physician input and buy-in | • | Multiple updates that are\u003Cbr>better shared live or in-person |\n\n© 2020 Advisory Board • All rights reserved [1](1 advisory.com)[ advisory.com](1 advisory.com)  \nSave time too often spent on routine and uncontroversial items  \nOverview: A consent agenda consolidates items that require minimal attention (e.g. , committee reports, meeting minutes, final approval of previously discussed proposals, etc. ) into a single list. The group can then vote to approve the entire consent agenda as opposed to individually reviewing each item. This saves time and allows leaders to focus the meeting on items that need more in-depth discussion.  \nHow to use it: Disseminate the consent agenda before the meeting so that everyone can review it in advance. Start meetings by asking whether anyone would like to move an item from the consent agenda to the regular agenda. Vote to adopt the consent agenda and proceed to the regular agenda.  \nUse case: Use a consent agenda for meetings where there are many routine updates, procedural items, and noncontroversial decisions so that you can quickly move on to more strategic discussion.  \n© 2020 Advisory Board • All rights reserved [2](2 advisory.com)[ advisory.com](2 advisory.com)  \nFocus on a single issue to allow for lengthier and deeper discussions  \nOverview: An input agenda is used in meetings where leaders want to go deep on one or two topics. Rather than top-down updates and Q&A, the meeting is organized around small group discussion that allow physicians to provide feedback on the issue at hand.  \nHow to use it: Pick one or two issues where you want physician input. Start the meeting by sharing a quick update and then break the room into small groups with no more than 8-10 physicians to discuss the meeting’s topic in more depth. Then, ask a representative from each group to share their takeaways with the larger group and address any questions or concerns.  \nUse case: Use an input agenda for in-depth discussion on strategic topics where you need strong physician buy-in and input to succeed.  \n© 2020 Advisory Board • All rights reserved [3](3 advisory.com)[ advisory.com](3 advisory.com)  \nShare updates and information on multiple topics at once  \nOverview: An update agenda is used for meetings where there are several agenda items where you want to update the group and potentially open it up for discussion. You can use this meeting to inform attendees about important updates that are better shared in person while you have the group together.  \nHow to use it: Since updates-focused meetings cover multiple topics, they can feel less scoped. It’s important to determine the structure and agenda in advance—and share this with everyone attending ","cbCaih1vbKRdAL9D","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih1vbKRdAL9D","pdf",98742,"English","# Three common agenda types\n## Consent agenda\n## Input agenda\n## Update agenda","[{\"question\":\"What is a consent agenda and when should it be used?\",\"answer\":\"A consent agenda consolidates routine items that require minimal attention into a single list for group approval.
