Key Points Question Are knowledge translation (KT) interventions offered to all surgeons in a region associated with improved process and outcome measures for patients undergoing rectal cancer surgery? Findings In this quality improvement study of 15 683 patients with rectal cancer, process and outcome measures, including use of diagnostic tests and radiotherapy and survival, were similar in the 2 groups of patients whose surgeons received high-intensity KT interventions and the 12 groups of patients whose surgeons received low-intensity KT interventions. Meaning In this quality improvement study, high-intensity KT interventions offered to all surgeons in 2 large Ontario regions were not associated with improved measures or outcomes of rectal cancer surgery.
