Abstract:
Clinical performance feedback is one of the most effective quality improvement strategies, but evidence about its effectiveness is highly variable. A key barrier to improving the effect of feedback is a lack of engagement by healthcare professionals. We developed Scalable Coaching and Appreciation Feedback For Optimal Learning and Decision-making (SCAFFOLD), a precision feedback system, that enhances performance feedback reports and dashboards to improve provider engagement and feedback effectiveness. We introduce SCAFFOLD and its key functions for generating messages with high motivational potential, and report on its function over a six-month period in a national-scale perioperative quality improvement consortium. The system was used to generate 21,776 messages for 4,550 anesthesia providers, producing 20,391 (94%) coaching messages and 1,385 (6%) appreciation messages. SCAFFOLD appears to demonstrate a feasible approach for large-scale generation of coaching and appreciation feedback messages that enhance feedback emails, reports, and dashboards.

Cognitive Learning
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...
