Presenting the Is in Detail

Abstract

Chapter 7 presented basic design features of 5Is descriptions and Chapters 8 and 9 developed supporting terms and concepts. Chapters 11–15 define, illustrate and list the detailed features and headings of each individual I. This chapter addresses some common practical issues. It first covers structures and formats for 5Is descriptions. Then it describes the kinds of ‘content’ information to record under the individual headings. Besides the main information on each task or subtask of the preventive process, it suggests recurrent themes including quality and improvement, and the kind of evidence appropriate to support description, prescription and evaluation. After this, it sets out a common structure for each of the ‘I’ chapters, broadly but not identically followed in each case. Last, it describes the sources of the 5Is illustrations used throughout the ‘I’ chapters. The ‘master list’ of 5Is headings at their current stage of development is presented at the end of each chapter.
