چکیده
Educational outreach visits entail the use of a trained person from outside the practice setting to meet with healthcare professionals in their practice. They provide information that may include feedback about professional performance with the intent of improving practice. This type of face-to-face visit is also called academic detailing and educational visiting. The intervention may be tailored based upon previously identified barriers to change or combined with other interventions, including reminders or interventions targeted directly at patients, such as recall clinics.
