| Description | A systematic review included randomized controlled trials (RCTs), quasi-randomized trials, before and after controlled studies, and analyzes of interrupted time series which assessed the impact of PIM on the practice of health professionals or on patient outcomes, or both. In this review, we included three types of comparisons: (1) PIMs versus no intervention, (2) PIMs versus single intervention, and (3) multifaceted intervention with PIMs versus multifaceted intervention without PIMs. There was no language restriction and any objective measure of professional practices (e.g. the number of requested tests or prescriptions for a certain type of medication) or patient health outcomes (e.g. blood pressure) were included. The results of this review suggest that, when used in isolation or when compared to no intervention, PIMs can have a small beneficial effect on the results of professional practices$ ^{4}$. The other countries in which these studies were performed present varied cultural and social backgrounds, including different levels of populational development and social factors such as access to education, working conditions, income, and knowledge of health and self-care. As such, it is possible that their findings may not be entirely applicable to the Brazilian context or to those of other countries with similar considerable social inequalities and wide cultural diversity. These characteristics impact the supply and performance of professionals in health services. Accordingly, whereas the reading and extrapolation of this information must be done with care before employing them in a local context, regional studies on the effectiveness of PIMs have shown them to be relevant since they are low-cost technology and relatively easy to use. |
