Study Guide – Clinical Audit

Stage 3 - observing practice

What is happening?

 

    Think: What other ways are there to gather data for audits?

 

You can collect information from:

• computer registers
• review of contents of medical records
• questionnaires – patients, staff or GPs
• data collection sheets

 

     Tip

• Delegate! You don’t have to collect all the data yourself. Most practices have a member of staff who can help you set up the search or organise questionnaires.
