Susan Michie (2017). The Human Behaviour-Change Project : harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning for evidence synthesis and interpretation "Intervention : defined as a set of types of policies, activities, services or products that are intended to result in a specified outcome in relation to the target behaviour. The intervention is specified in terms of summary descriptors (e.g., ‘brief opportunistic advice from a GP on smoking’) together with detailed descriptions of ‘content’g such as the techniques used (e.g., pharmacological support, verbal persuasion about capability etc.), and ‘delivery’ (e.g., 5 min, single session, verbal, face-to-face, during a routine consultation, by GP, trained with UK National Centre for Smoking Cessation Very Brief Advice online course). "
A composition of intervention, delivery, is a concept referred to a way through which a intervention is conveyed, which means that delivery is not only a type of message (verbal, non-verbal), but also a detailed plan about how to give the message.
A monthly feedback report by a pharmacy department, for example, might be an instance of delivery. But the paper(report itself) cannot be regarded as a delivery.
Hierarchy might be (Intervention > feedback > Delivery) Or, for our application ontology, it might be (intervention = feedback)
The current ontological thinking is that delivery of feedback is the major purpose of FIO, specifically through performance summary displays. This is a philosophically important question that we will reopen as necessary.
The audit and feedback communities combination of "audit and feedback" as one concept, and the psych communities more general use of feedback may create difficulties/redundancies. As currently composed, delivery and feedback are near identical
