I am not sure what you
mean by patient at risk as it could be
1. patients at risk of developing a
particular illness or disease - and how to identify them to ensure
preventative measures are put in place, this could relate to teenagers who
might get pregnant, or those who are overweight developing diabetes or heart
disease
2. patients at risk from others, for
example, children who may well be abused
3. patients with long term conditions
or who have complex health needs who might be at risk of ending up in hospital
rather than being managed in the community
4. patients being discharged too soon
from hospital, at risk of being re-admitted
it is a big subject and I think you need to define
it a bit more
sorry if this is not helpful, but you did ask

Dear
colleagues,
While trying to forge links with
our Clinical Audit department, I was asked to help do a search for “patient at
risk audit”.
Absolutely typical that I couldn’t
find a darned thing! Before going back to them red faced after only performing
one search, I was wondering if any (far more knowledgeable) librarian would
have any ideas of links or search strategies that may uncover something
(anything!!!!) to deliver.
Thanks
Tim
