TL;DR
A&F effectiveness is improved when feedback is delivered with specific suggestions for improvement, in writing, and frequently, and research with stricter experimental controls is needed to identify the specific feedback characteristics that maximize its effectiveness.
Abstract
A&F effectiveness is improved when feedback is delivered with specific suggestions for improvement, in writing, and frequently. Other feedback characteristics could also potentially improve effectiveness; however, research with stricter experimental controls is needed to identify the specific feedback characteristics that maximize its effectiveness.

Cochrane Database of Systematic ReviewsAudit and feedback: effects on professional practice and healthcare outcomes
5,532 Citations2012Noah Ivers, Gro Jamtvedt +8 more
The results indicated that feedback may be more effective when baseline performance is low, the source is a supervisor or colleague, it is provided more than once, and the role of context and the targeted clinical behaviour was assessed.
Health Technology AssessmentEffectiveness and efficiency of guideline dissemination and implementation strategies
