A new area of growth is the explosion of systems to offer pay transparency and are now crowdsourcing and providing benchmarking tools to help you "find your worth" (a phrase Glassdoor coined) through open feedback and benchmarking.
It is important to note that there is some confusion in the literature between the terms feedback and benchmarking.
In the postintervention period, we implemented a multifaceted program, including multidisciplinary daily rounds, and monthly audits focusing on sedative consumption, feedback and benchmarking purposes.
ND helped to draft the manuscript, and provided the literature analysis regarding the effect of feedback and benchmarking on the quality of diabetes care.
However, there are few published reports of randomised studies investigating this approach in T2DM in primary care, and the effectiveness of feedback and benchmarking has not been definitively proven in a randomised, controlled setting.
There is emerging evidence from non-randomised controlled trials (non-RCTs) that feedback and benchmarking exert a positive effect on process, outcome and overall provision of diabetes care [ 28- 31].
The original protocol was developed in Belgium, based on a long-standing large scale feedback and benchmarking project in specialised diabetes centres, the 'Initiative for the Promotion of Quality and Epidemiology of Diabetes mellitus (IQED)' [ 39].
Both qualitative feedback and quantifiable benchmarks indicate that substantial progress has been made; we recently won a prestigious award for software process achievement and we are leaders in lean, agile, and virtualization.
One of the best measures we have is Open Table guest feedback and we benchmark that to our competitors.
Interventions include provider education; informatics-based clinical decision support with electronic medical record-embedded geriatric pharmacy order sets and links to online geriatric content; and individual provider education including academic detailing, audit and feedback, and peer benchmarking.
