Description
Summary:Abstract Background A clinical quality registry (CQR) is a structured database that systematically collects data to monitor clinical quality and improve healthcare outcomes. The aims of CQRs are to improve treatment plans, assist in decision-making, increase healthcare value, enhance care quality, and reduce healthcare costs by providing feedback to healthcare providers. Feedback to clinicians is used as a quality improvement tool. It provides data to clinicians about their performance, which may contribute to improvement in healthcare outcomes. To the best of our knowledge, previous research on CQRs has primarily focused on factors affecting their use and their impact on healthcare outcomes. In this study, a scoping review is conducted to understand the barriers to and facilitators of using feedback systems from clinical quality registries in acute healthcare settings. Methods For this review, Arksey and O’Malley’s framework for scoping reviews will be applied. The following electronic databases (MEDLINE via Ovid, CINAHL, and Scopus) and grey literature (Google Scholar) will be systematically searched for qualitative and mixed-method studies (only including qualitative findings) published after 2000 in the English language. Two reviewers will independently screen the articles and extract the data which, subsequently, will be mapped against the COM-B model. Discussion This review is conducted with the aim of providing valuable insights into the factors that influence the utilisation of feedback from Clinical Quality Registries by healthcare providers, which, in the context of quality improvement, may have significant implications for clinical research, registry science, health policy, and clinical practice. Scoping review registration This protocol has been registered prospectively with the Open Science Framework (OSF) ( https://osf.io/fhm4n/ ).
