Writing your Audit Report
The Principles of Best Practice states,
"Clinical audit is a quality improvement process that aims to improve patient
care and outcomes by carrying out a systematic review and implementing change.
Aspects of patient care - including structure, processes and outcomes – are
selected and evaluated against explicit criteria and, where necessary, changes
are implemented at an individual, team or service level. Further monitoring can
then be used to confirm the improvements in healthcare delivery."
