Purpose The authors previously developed and tested a reflective model for facilitating performance feedback for practice improvement, the R2C2 model. It consists of four phases: relationship building, exploring reactions, exploring content, and coaching. This research studied the use and effectiveness of the model across different residency programs and the factors that influenced its effectiveness and use. Method From July 2014-October 2016, case study methodology was used to study R2C2 model use and the influence of context on use within and across five cases. Five residency programs (family medicine, psychiatry, internal medicine, surgery, and anesthesia) from three countries (Canada, the United States, and the Netherlands) were recruited. Data collection included audiotaped site assessment interviews, feedback sessions, and debriefing interviews with residents and supervisors, and completed learning change plans (LCPs). Content, thematic, template, and cross-case analysis were conducted. Results An average of nine resident-supervisor dyads per site were recruited. The R2C2 feedback model, used with an LCP, was reported to be effective in engaging residents in a reflective, goal-oriented discussion about performance data, supporting coaching, and enabling collaborative development of a change plan. Use varied across cases, influenced by six general factors: supervisor characteristics, resident characteristics, qualities of the resident-supervisor relationship, assessment approaches, program culture and context, and supports provided by the authors. Conclusions The R2C2 model was reported to be effective in fostering a productive, reflective feedback conversation focused on resident development and in facilitating collaborative development of a change plan. Factors contributing to successful use were identified.
