The Commission for Health Improvement's (CHI) Definition of Audit

 

  • Audit is a quality improvement process to improve patient care and outcomes for patients.
  • It is a systematic review of care against explicit criteria.
  • Aspects of the structure, processes and outcomes of care are selected and systematically evaluated.
  • Changes can then be implemented at an individual, team or service level.
  • Further monitoring is used to confirm improvement in health care delivery.

In other words we take an aspect of care and compare it to a gold standard. If that aspect falls short of the gold standard we change what we are doing and then we compare it again to the gold standard.

Every GP Registrar in training has to undertake an audit as part of their final assessment to be competent to practice. Please find below links to audits carried out in this practice.
