Journal ArticleDOI
Audit and feedback: effects on professional practice and healthcare outcomes
Noah Ivers,Gro Jamtvedt,Signe Flottorp,Jane M. Young,Jan Odgaard-Jensen,Simon D. French,Mary Ann O’Brien,Marit Johansen,Jeremy M. Grimshaw,Andrew D Oxman +9 more
TL;DR: The results indicated that feedback may be more effective when baseline performance is low, the source is a supervisor or colleague, it is provided more than once, and the role of context and the targeted clinical behaviour was assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developing theory-informed behaviour change interventions to implement evidence into practice: a systematic approach using the Theoretical Domains Framework
Simon D. French,Simon D. French,Sally Green,Denise O'Connor,Joanne E. McKenzie,Jill J Francis,Susan Michie,Rachelle Buchbinder,Peter Schattner,Neil Spike,Jeremy M. Grimshaw +10 more
TL;DR: A four-step systematic method for developing an intervention designed to change clinical practice based on a theoretical framework is illustrated that provides a systematic framework that could be used by others developing complex implementation interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growing Literature, Stagnant Science? Systematic Review, Meta-Regression and Cumulative Analysis of Audit and Feedback Interventions in Health Care
Noah Ivers,Jeremy M. Grimshaw,Gro Jamtvedt,Signe Flottorp,Mary Ann O’Brien,Simon D. French,Jane M. Young,Jan Odgaard-Jensen +7 more
TL;DR: There is substantial evidence that audit and feedback can effectively improve quality of care, but little evidence of progress in the field when investigators test quality improvement interventions that do not build upon, or contribute toward, extant knowledge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superficial heat or cold for low back pain
TL;DR: The evidence base to support the common practice of superficial heat and cold for low back pain is limited and there is a need for future higher-quality randomised controlled trials as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fiona Dobson,Kim L Bennell,Simon D. French,Philippa J A Nicolson,Remco N. Klaasman,Melanie A. Holden,Lou Atkins,Rana S Hinman +7 more
