This study explored the effect of a quality improvement program on pediatrician discussion with parents regarding preventative care. The intervention concentrated on implementation of office systems for improved delivery of services. All of the participating practices were audited. Parents completed surveys in order to determine the impact of the intervention. The study results revealed an improvement in parental reports of preventative care discussions with physicians. It should be noted that the study relied on parent reports; parents may have been prone to give more socially desirable reports. Nevertheless, the findings suggest that a quality improvement program concentrating on systems may be effective in changing physician behavior as well as parent knowledge and behavior.
