Abstract

Background: The Australian and New Zealand Society of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeons (ANZSCTS) Database collects and monitors preoperative, operative, and 30-day outcome data on patients undergoing cardiac surgery, and delivers regular performance feedback reports to key personnel with intent to drive quality improvement. The current feedback approach appears to be ineffective in driving change to minimise Unit performance variation. We sought to determine the acceptability and feasibility of providing structured feedback in addition. Methods: Cardiac surgeons were surveyed to assess their evaluation of the current feedback reports and assist in developing the content of structured feedback. ..
