Barriers and facilitators to using feedback from clinical quality registries: a scoping review protocol

Area of Science:

• Health Services Research
• Clinical Informatics
• Quality Improvement Science

Background:

• Clinical Quality Registries (CQRs) systematically collect data to monitor and improve healthcare quality.
• CQRs aim to enhance treatment plans, decision-making, healthcare value, and reduce costs through provider feedback.
• Previous research on CQRs has focused on usage factors and healthcare outcome impacts.

Purpose of the Study:

• To conduct a scoping review to understand barriers and facilitators of using feedback systems from CQRs in acute healthcare settings.
• Identify factors influencing the utilization of CQR feedback by healthcare providers.
• Provide insights for improving the effectiveness of CQR feedback mechanisms.

Main Methods:

• Arksey and O'Malley's framework for scoping reviews.
• Systematic search of MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, and Google Scholar for qualitative and mixed-method studies published after 2000.
• Data extraction and mapping against the COM-B model by two independent reviewers.

Main Results:

• This section is to be populated upon completion of the review.

Conclusions:

• This review will offer valuable insights into factors influencing CQR feedback utilization by healthcare providers.
• Findings have potential implications for clinical research, registry science, health policy, and clinical practice.
• Understanding these factors is crucial for optimizing quality improvement initiatives within healthcare settings.
