A small change in practice is better
than a major discussion of the
possibilities

Some Definitions Audit is a process used by health professionals
to assess, evaluate and improve the care of patients in a systematic way in order to enhance their health and quality of life.

GMC advice
all doctors should take part in systematic audit and be familiar with the principles and practice of clinical audit
![Page 11: Clinical Audit](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167ef550346895ddd5fac/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
It is about
Auditing your own practice!
![Page 12: Clinical Audit](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167ef550346895ddd5fac/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What to consider when choosing a subject.
Is your topic appropriate?
Does it reflect the care undertaken by you the practitioner?
Is it evidence based?
![Page 13: Clinical Audit](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167ef550346895ddd5fac/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Audit and Revalidation At least one full clinical audit cycle during

The great coffee audit
Found on Google:Gloucestershire PCCAG
![Page 26: Clinical Audit](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167ef550346895ddd5fac/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The great coffee audit
Problem: The doctors feel that their coffee isn’t hot enough after slogging through morning surgery
![Page 27: Clinical Audit](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167ef550346895ddd5fac/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The great coffee audit
Problem:
Criteria:
The doctors feel that their coffee isn’t hot enough after slogging through morning surgery
The coffee shall be hot and satisfying to the hard pressed docs
![Page 28: Clinical Audit](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167ef550346895ddd5fac/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The great coffee audit
Problem:
Criteria:
Standards:
The doctors feel that their coffee isn’t hot enough after slogging through morning surgery
The coffee shall be hot and satisfying to the hard pressed docs
The coffee shall be served at a temperature of 85-90C on 80% of occasions and there will be 90% satisfaction level expressed by the docs
![Page 29: Clinical Audit](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167ef550346895ddd5fac/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The great coffee audit
Methods: The junior receptionist shall check the temperature of the coffee daily for two weeks and circulate a questionnaire to the partners asking them to score a coffee satisfaction level between 1 and 10. The practice manager shall visit Tesco’s and interview the manager about the availability, costs, quality and sell-by dates of the coffee brands available.
![Page 30: Clinical Audit](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167ef550346895ddd5fac/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The great coffee audit
Review: After a rather tense audit team meeting it was found that the coffee temperature fell below 37C on at least 33% of occasions and reached the standard on only 10% of occasions. The doctors scored the coffee at an average 3/10 and two expressed it undrinkable. The practice manager reported the results of her Tesco’s visit.
![Page 31: Clinical Audit](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167ef550346895ddd5fac/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The great coffee audit
Change: It was agreed to replace the aged coffee maker (after agreeing suitable redundancy terms for the senior receptionist) with a shiny new machine from Argos. As an additional ‘quality initiative’, cream cakes would be served after surgery. The coffee contract would be switched from the corner shop to Tesco PLC Trust.
![Page 32: Clinical Audit](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167ef550346895ddd5fac/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The great coffee audit
Re-audit:For a further two weeks it was agreed to measure the coffee temperature and re-circulate the questionnaire. It was gratifying to find 100% correlation with agreed standards with the exception of one partner who didn’t like coffee anyway.
![Page 33: Clinical Audit](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167ef550346895ddd5fac/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The great coffee audit
Re-audit:
Future Audit:
For a further two weeks it was agreed to measure the coffee temperature and re-circulate the questionnaire. It was gratifying to find 100% correlation with agreed standards with the exception of one partner who didn’t like coffee anyway.

Making the Changes
Is this something you have direct control over?
Does patient opinion come into this? Who needs educating? Selling your changes to your colleagues How long will the changes need?
![Page 46: Clinical Audit](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167ef550346895ddd5fac/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
What can we do to improve things?
‘For every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings. And, folks, this is unacceptable in America. It's just unacceptable. And we're going to do something about it.’
George W. Bush
![Page 47: Clinical Audit](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167ef550346895ddd5fac/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Have the Changes Worked?
Collect a second set of data Allow time for the changes to take effect Have the changes made a difference? Has the target now been reached? Can further changes be put in place? Is this going to be reviewed again in the
future?
![Page 48: Clinical Audit](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167ef550346895ddd5fac/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Presenting Results
Results must be clear and understandable Present data in a visual way Avoid complex statistical analysis Quote the numbers before the % for less
than 50 pieces of data Be tactful with difficult results
![Page 49: Clinical Audit](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167ef550346895ddd5fac/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Why do we use graphs?
The number of asthmatic patients attending for annual review varies according to age, with patients in the 16-24 age group least likely to attend.

Significant event audit
The audit should be:
transparent
It should not be confrontational or judgemental
It is not an opportunity to name, shame and
blame.
![Page 57: Clinical Audit](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167ef550346895ddd5fac/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
It should be something in which you are involved
It should be discussed in a meeting Changes involve you
Reports should not identify the patients
![Page 58: Clinical Audit](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167ef550346895ddd5fac/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
