Audit and feedback (A&F) in healthcare is when a health professional's performance is evaluated and compared to professional standards (audit). Then the health professionals are given the results of the comparison (feedback), with the hope that it might help them improve their performance.

This examined a total of 292 studies, most of which targeted prescribing (47%) and test-ordering (35%). A majority featured multifaceted interventions, often combining A&F with clinician education (56%) and reminders (15%).

🔹 A&F helps improve performance a little to a moderate amount—but how you design and deliver it matters.
🔹 Co‐interventions (such as reminders and extra training) can enhance effectiveness.
🔹 Future research should explore ways to optimize A&F.
