Evaluation of Therapeutic Initiative's Cystitis Portrait and Therapeutics Letter

In the context of audit and feedback interventions, Portrait is document produced by the physician organization 'Therapeutics Initiative' that provides personalized prescribing feedback for BC family physicians (FPs). Portraits are used as a practice resource tool for reflection on prescribing patterns. Each Portrait topic provides data of individual physician's prescribing practice, alongside the mean and median levels of their peers (other BC physicians), a succinct review of the best-available evidence on the topic, and recommendations for future action.

The Therapeutics Letter is a standalone publication that details identified problematic therapeutic issues in a brief, simple and practical manner. Therapeutics letters include a systematic literature review on a clinical topic, and help provide reference for the data presented in the Portraits.
