  • There is conflicting evidence regarding the role of peer-comparison in feedback.

    “there is conflicting evidence regarding the role of peer‐comparison in feedback (Kiefe 2001; Søndergaard 2002; Wones 1987).”

    From Audit and feedback: effects on professional practice and healthcare outcomes (2012) · cites this paper as Wones 1987

  • Wones 1987 found a small difference when adding peer comparison data to audit and feedback for inpatient laboratory test utilisation (adjusted change relative to baseline control = 5%).

    “Søndergaard 2002 and Wones 1987 each found small differences when adding peer comparison data to the audit and feedback for asthma management (adjusted RD = 2%) or inpatient laboratory test utilisation (adjusted change relative to baseline control = 5%), respectively.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
