Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Simple audit & feedbackExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The control arm will receive the quality improvement intervention currently in place in the Québec Trauma Care Continuum (i.e. simple A&F report presenting their performance compared to peers on quality indicators measuring adherence to high-value care and risk-adjusted outcomes) with the addition of quality indicators on low-value care (already planned by provincial authorities for the 2023 evaluation cycle). Simple A&F was chosen for the control because it is standard practice in Québec and in most integrated trauma systems and the effectiveness of A&F for de-implementation has been documented.
Group II: Audit & feedback with educational outreach and facilitationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The intervention includes: 1) refinement with end users, 2) an A&F report sent to local governing authorities presenting for each practice: performance compared to peers (simple A&F), a summary message indicating if action is required and a list of potential actions, 3) educational materials (a clinical vignette; consequences of the practice; links to practice guidelines, clinical decision rules and shared decision-making tools; a case review tool), 4) virtual educational meetings with the local trauma Medical Director, trauma program manager and data analyst, and 5) two virtual facilitation visits 2 and 4 months after the transmission of the report to support committees in preparing their action plan.
