Authors' objectives: To conduct a quasi-experimental evaluation of the feedback initiative and its effect on quality of anaesthetic care and perioperative efficiency. To understand the longitudinal effects of passive and active feedback and investigate the mechanisms and interactions underpinning those effects.
Authors' recommendations: The results support the potential of quality monitoring and feedback interventions as quality improvement mechanisms and provide insight into the positive response of clinicians to this type of initiative, including documentation of the experiences of anaesthetists that participated as users and codesigners of the feedback. Future work in this area might usefully investigate how this type of intervention may be transferred to other areas of clinical practice and further explore interactions between local context and the successful implementation of quality monitoring and feedback systems.
