    Introduction to
    foundations of
    big qual

    Introduction to foundations of big qual

    • Analyse naturally occurring social media posts versus traditional 20–30 interviews, maintaining narrative depth at scale.
    • Get rid of the noise: focus your research question and work systematically, using the factory worker analogy.
    • Identify preliminary work that can proceed without ethics approval or data-access permissions.
    • Shortcuts to access data and participants, with more in the datasets course.
    • Alternative data collection methods.

    Ethics
    for big qual

    Ethics for big qual

    • Public data is not “fair game”: consider context collapse when posts intended for specific audiences become research data.
    • Anonymise usernames, avoid searchable quotes, exclude minors’ content and respect platform privacy expectations.
    • Balance the impracticality of individual consent for thousands of posts with demonstrable public benefit.
    • Establish data retention policies, secure storage protocols and team access limits.
    • Consider vulnerability: mental health disclosures, healthcare worker venting and potential management scrutiny.

    Process mapping
    using digital tools

    Process mapping using digital tools

    • Transform interview transcripts into structured event logs with patient IDs, timestamps and appointment details for process mining.
    • Use Celonis to visualise patient journeys from symptom onset to diagnosis, revealing bottlenecks and delays.
    • Map GP visits, specialist referrals, investigations and biopsies as interconnected healthcare touchpoints.
    • Compare diagnostic pathway variants and delays in a sarcoma case study.
    • Export visual dashboards and statistical analyses for publication, making qualitative patient experiences quantifiable for service improvement.
