Multi-source feedback tools for anesthesiologists are feasible, valid, and reliable. This study demonstrates the successful development and assessment of these instruments for improving physician performance.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Anesthesiology
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Multi-source feedback (MSF) is crucial for professional development in medicine.
  • Assessing the utility of MSF programs in specialized fields like anesthesiology is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility, validity, and reliability of a newly developed MSF program for anesthesiologists.
  • To establish robust feedback mechanisms for enhancing anesthesiologist performance.

Main Methods:

  • Development of surveys for patients, coworkers, medical colleagues, and self-assessment.
  • Utilized five-point scales with an 'unable to assess' option, covering communication, professionalism, and collaboration.
  • Assessed feasibility via response rates; validity through rating profiles and factor analysis; reliability using Cronbach's alpha and generalizability coefficients.

Main Results:

  • High response rates achieved: 56.2% for patients, 95.1% for coworkers, and 94.6% for medical colleagues.
  • Factor analyses supported the construct validity of the surveys, explaining significant variance.
  • Instruments demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha > 0.95) and acceptable generalizability coefficients (0.65 for patients, 0.56 for coworkers, 0.69 for peers).

Conclusions:

  • Multi-source feedback instruments for anesthesiologists can be effectively developed.
  • The developed MSF program is feasible, valid, and reliable for use in anesthesiology.
  • This study supports the implementation of MSF for quality improvement in anesthesiology.
