Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The investigators' objective is to evaluate whether a 'personalized and targeted' feedback, education and performance improvement intervention has a greater impact on adherence to recommended guidelines than standard feedback.
The investigators hypothesize that a site-specific report with centrally identified targets for improvement paired with target specific interventions will enable sites to quickly identify and prioritize salient problem areas, have ready access to an analysis of factors that underlie problems, and formulate an effective action plan. The investigators also hypothesize that those hospitals randomized to receive intervention will be more likely to improve their overall performance, as well as their target specific performance, during the period of observation in direct response to activated QI processes.
Outcomes:
The primary outcome is improvement in the overall composite of all metrics eligible for intervention regardless of their selection as targets.
The secondary outcome is improvement in the composite of targeted metrics.
Outcomes will be assessed in all participating sites, and in among relevant performance subgroups (low performers, academic centers, full service, and among medication versus process metrics).
