Audit and other Quality Improvement Activities (QIA) for OOH doctors

Audit and other Quality Improvement Activities (QIA) for OOH doctors


Using the case summaries from a sample of your consultations can provide you with audit material. You can repeat the audit cycle again later using similar consultation data to see whether any changes introduced after the first part of the audit have been effective.

Please note that prescribing data is also a convenient source of audit data.

We have provided some examples of topics and criteria which you might consider.  Ensure you use criteria and standards which you can justify.

If you choose one of the prescribing-related audit topics, you might want to consider repeating the exercise for another sample at a later date, to complete the "audit cycle" - an 8 criterion audit.

NES has a Peer Review service to assist the review of your audits or significant event analysis (SEA).  More information and relevant templates available on the CPD Connect website.
