Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| For each GP, we will calculate an overall performance score (OPS), derived from their performance on the 14 QIs included in the QI-FBR. We will calculate the OPS at two points in time: before the first FBR is delivered (baseline), and after the last FBR has been delivered (end of study). The primary outcome measure will be the change in OPS between baseline and end of study | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Four domain-specific performance scores (DPSs) derived from the GPs’ performance on the QIs belonging to the four different chronic condition domains (endocrine, cardiovascular, pulmonary, and renal), change baseline and end of study | — |
