Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators need stronger feedback loops and a quality monitoring and management system to improve the quality of care in sustainable way.

In this study protocol, a monocentric mixed-method quasi-experimental study will be used to assess the impact of a rapid-cycle quality indicator feedback mechanism on both patients and professionals.

Implementation of a quality indicator feedback mechanism
Audit and feedback: A summary of clinical performance and hospital safety culture over a specified period of time. Benchmarking Achievable: benchmarks are calculated from the performance of all members of a peer group and represents a realistic standard of excellence attained by the top performers in that group (i.e. comparing to the top 10% of peers). Educational outreach: A trained independent person or investigator will meet with health professionals or managers in their practice setting to provide information (e.g. feedback of quality indicators). Action planning: The purpose of action planning is to support quality improvement efforts by identifying opportunities for improvement, strategies and steps to accomplish the work.
