Best practice in audit

Dominique Askey Staff nurse, Bradwell Hospital, Newcastle-under-Lyme

A learning zone article helped Dominique Askey see the value of audit in ensuring quality of care

Audit is an important process that aims to ensure professional standards are adhered to while improving patient outcomes. The quality of health care can be recognised through patient safety, patient experience and the effectiveness of care. By auditing aspects of care, shortfalls can be identified and the quality of care improved.
