Good morning all,
I am a researcher concerned with clincial audit from an information
management persepective. I was aware of discrepancies within
secondary care as to the precise nature of clinical audit however, I
have recently been given yet another definition of audit within
primary care and was wondering if anybody would be prepared to
comment? The particluar questions with which I am concerned
are as follows:
1. What do you consider to be clinical audit?
2. How does audit differ, if it does, from clinical research?
Please send any comments, thoughts etc. regarding these questions to
me directly and I will collate and post them to the list if such
dissemination is wished for.
As an aside, as part of my research I have developed a structured
method (C.A.S.M) for clinical audit and am in the process of testing
this method in practice. I have various trial sites established throughout
the U.K in secondary care but still need some test sites in primary
care. If anyone would be interested in either testing the method, or
just receiving further information about this method, please contact
me directly - [log in to unmask]
Thank you, in advance, for your help,
Nikki
