Several successful applications of OBM in health care settings, based on the seven guidelines
listed above, provide the foundation for designing interventions to initiate and maintain
behaviors relevant for patient safety.31 In one example, various feedback schedules were
investigated to determine which best supported the acquisition and maintenance of three healthcare
routines: feeding, positioning, and transferring physically disabled patients.32 All feedback
schedules were effective at increasing and maintaining the target behavior, but densely scheduled
feedback produced more immediate behavior change.
