  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Performance feedback is a key strategy for quality improvement (QI) in outpatient settings.
  • Claims-based data are increasingly used to measure healthcare performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation of a performance feedback intervention by a quality improvement organization (QIO).
  • To analyze primary care physician feedback on the intervention to identify areas for improvement.

Main Methods:

  • A quality improvement organization (QIO) provided performance feedback to primary care physicians.
  • Feedback utilized claims-based measures for diabetes care, adult vaccinations, and mammography screening.
  • Physician feedback was collected and analyzed thematically.
