Popis: BackgroundWe describe the creation and evaluation of a personal audit and feedback (A&F) tool for anesthesiologists.MethodsA survey aimed at capturing barriers for personal improvement efforts and feedback preferences was administered to attending anesthesiologists. The results informed the design and implementation of 4 dashboards that display information on individual practice characteristics as well as comparative performance on several quality metrics. The dashboards’ usability was then tested using the human-centered design framework.ResultsAnesthesiologists listed lack of information on current practice as the main barrier for improvement. Regarding usability, participants gave the dashboards an average score of 3.8 (scale 1–5) on consistency, learnability, and information organization, and performed the assigned tasks well, with an average score of 89% (range 79–100%).ConclusionsWe describe the design, implementation, and usability testing of an innovative tool that utilizes data derived from the electronic health record (EHR) system to provide A&F to anesthesiology providers.
