Actual (reported)Randomized cluster trial of cardiac report cards for AMI and CHF. 103 acute care Ontario hospitals/85 hospital corporations participating, randomized to two groups: Group A Early Feedback and Group B Delayed Feedback. Two phases of retrospective chart review of AMI and CHF separations to assess the impact of the public release of hospital specific performance on a set of Canadian quality indicators.

Hospital corporations randomized to receive early feedback in the form of a report card
Hospitals randomized to receive delayed feedback in the form of a hospital report cared, 21 months after the early feedback arm.
Participating hospital corporations were randomized to either early feedback or delayed feedback (21 months later) in the form of publicly released hospital report cards of performance on a set of cardiac process-of-care quality indicators.
