There is a limited knowledge on how medical engagement influences quality of care provided in primary care. The extent of the use of feedback reports from a national quality-of-care database can be considered as a measure of process quality. This study explores relationships between the use of feedback reports and medical engagement among general practitioners, general practitioner demographics, clinic characteristics, and services.
