Whilst previous audits raised awareness of severe sepsis, only whole organisation performance was reported and no feedback was given to individual clinicians.
One study on SPHC teams in Bavaria has taken place in 2013 and allows for broader information on organisation, performance and its effect on patients and their relatives [ 18].
The research program sought to investigate five major variables central to the clinical and organisational performance of an organisation (organisational performance; clinical performance indicators; organisation culture; consumer participation; and accreditation performance on EQuIP) and the inter-relationships between these variables.

Different policy implications arising from these two research questions are summarised in table 1. Ethnic minority patients receive care from healthcare provider organisations whose performance is lower than average.
