Risk assessing areas identified for improvement helps to prioritise your action plan #auditadvent @PHT_OD @QAHospitalNews
FAQ: How many audits should we plan each year?
♪♫♪♬♪ Don’t get carried away in a manger
Keep it uncomplicated
Not quantity of audits
Think quality instead ♪♫♪♬♪
Good quality audits improve patient care - use your time wisely

Don’t get caught in a snow drift!
Clinical audit should be a snapshot of current practice, not a blanket of data. Select a manageable number of snowflakes to examine before your motivation melts away, you can’t catch them all!
#auditadvent @PHT_OD @QAHospitalNews
Don’t get your fairy lights in a muddle…
Keep your data organised and structured. Creating a simple data collection tool will help you untangle the information when it comes to the analysis
#auditadvent @PHT_OD @QAHospitalNews
Follow the brightest star….
Be wise with your time & ensure your audit project is a Trust priority, such as:
NICE, SIRI’s, CQC report themes, complaints, high risk areas, National Audits, Re-audit, themes from Confidential Outcome Reviews.
#auditadvent @PHT_OD @QAHospitalNews
Don’t let the ghost of clinical audit future show you what would have happened were you not to have changed your ways…
Formulating robust, SMART action plans will ensure your audit improves practice and patient care
#auditadvent @PHT_OD @QAHospitalNews
Focus is key; keep your eye on the bauble!
To ensure your #ClinicalAudit is successful, make sure you focus on your objectives and don’t go off track. Collect only the data you need to measure against your standards.

#ClinicalAudit drop in session this morning, room 12 Education Centre, 9-12
Pop in to ask questions about you project and chat about all things audit and NICE
@PHT_OD @QAHospitalNews
Are you using the Naughty or NICE list?
Remember, when planning your #clinicalaudit, set explicit criteria against best practice standards, guidelines & policies. NICE guidelines are a great place to start & a Trust priority area
