  • Title: Clinical audit: shining a light on good practice.
    Author: Grainger A.
    Journal: Nurs Manag (Harrow); 2010 Jul; 17(4):30-3. PubMed ID: 20681403.
    Abstract:
    Healthcare organisations undertake quality assurance to produce safe and effective patient care systems. Statutory quality assurance requirements are met through external reviews, monitoring and inspection processes, and each NHS trust must produce a corporate annual quality account. However, this can result in approaching audits as if they are 'tick-box activities'. This article discusses how organisations can avoid this trap by applying audit results to practice.
