Objective: Audit and feedback (A&F) programmes aim to improve patient care by providing summary data on performance to clinicians. They generally have modest, but variable, effects on patient care and questions remain about how best to provide performance feedback. It is not feasible to test all ways of providing feedback in 'real-world' randomised trials. Online screening experiments that screen feedback techniques prior to real-world evaluations of optimised versions offer a systematic approach. User-centred design methodologies can inform the design of such online experiments. Methods: We report the use of an innovative user-centred design approach to create feedback techniques for an online screening experiment and reflect on its usefulness. This approach included the involvement of patients and stakeholders. Results and Conclusion: We highlight lessons on ways to engage with partners, considering the feasibility of online A&F feedback delivery, fidelity, and usability. We demonstrate how the approach was implemented to co-create a set of feedback techniques for an online experiment and could also be applied to the design of other digital interventions.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
