The Effect of AUDIT and Feedback on Pneumococcal Vaccination Coverage

"AUDIT and Feedback is a well-known quality intervention that according to the last Cochrane review leads to small but potentially important improvements in professional practice (Ivers N et al. Audit and feedback: effects on professional practice and healthcare outcomes. Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2012, 6:Cd000259).~Standardized automated AUDITs are available in most EHR systems in Belgium. Feedback, on the other hand, is only available in specific registration networks. At study baseline the performance in INTEGO practices will be measured. Afterwards a standardized clinical AUDIT to identify patients that may benefit from pneumococcal vaccination will be implemented in the EHR of all INTEGO practices. The Feedback will only be implemented in the intervention group."
