Clinical Audit & the Audit Cycle

This lesson is part of Premium

Audit = comparing practice against an agreed STANDARD to improve care (not creating new knowledge). The cycle: identify topic → set criteria/standards → observe practice/collect data → compare with standard → implement change → RE-AUDIT (closing the loop). Criteria vs standards (target %). Significant event analysis briefly. Diagram: audit cycle. Exam tip: re-audit is what distinguishes audit from a one-off survey.
