Implementing local change from national clinical audit projects
National clinical audit is designed to improve patient outcomes across a wide range of medical, surgical and mental health conditions. Its purpose is to engage all healthcare professionals across England and Wales in systematic evaluation of their clinical practice against standards and to support and encourage improvement in the quality of treatment and care.
This guide aims to help audit professionals in healthcare organisations:
- create the right environment for change
- provide strategies for successful implementation of local changes from national clinical audit
- encourage organisations to identify areas of clinical risk or areas for improvement at an early stage
- support their organisation to comply with performance indicators related to audit and participate in the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme.
It also includes helpful references to literature on change management.
