Physician performance feedback is not merely an issue of establishing procedures or working out the technicalities of measurement. Rather, it is a fundamental issue of medical staff and organizational culture. Physician competency feedback reports are effective only when physicians adopt a culture that both accepts the validity of such reports and acts on them. Physician leaders must support the implementation of effective data collection systems and secure medical staff buy-in.
