Minimal evidence is available on the effectiveness of audit with feedback in LTC settings and, in particular, the effects when targeting unregulated care providers.
Badolato et al. (2014) (BDE) examine the effectiveness of audit committee financial expertise.
Interventions with variable effectiveness include audit and feedback, use of local opinion leaders, local consensus processes, and patient-mediated interventions.
KT strategies having variable effectiveness include audit and feedback, local opinion leaders, local consensus processes, and patient mediated interventions.
The effectiveness of audit and feedback may be greater, however, when baseline adherence to a recommended practice is low [ 28].
However, there have been no controlled studies conducted to investigate the effectiveness of audit and feedback intervention in the school canteen setting.
All three reviews suggested that the effectiveness of audit and feedback is enhanced by setting a target or behavioural goal, which was a component of our intervention.
The relative effectiveness of audit and feedback is likely to be greater when baseline adherence to recommended practice is low and when feedback is delivered more intensively (25).
For example, one systematic review of this literature identified the effectiveness of audit and feedback strategies, as well as education and training efforts.
For example, the effectiveness of audit and feedback may be influenced by factors such as health professionals' motivation to change or perceived peer pressure – generalisable concepts that can be used across different contexts.
