New tranche of clinical audit support tools to be developed

11 November 2009: Tenders are requested for the development of further quality improvement tools to help support clinical audit professionals and clinicians to conduct high quality clinical audits both locally and nationally.

Following the well received publication of our first suite of support tools, HQIP is currently tendering for a second round of twelve products. The tools will require individual submissions for each product.

Proposals are sought from experts in the field of clinical audit. Guidance may be applicable to local or national clinical audits or both, as specified. They must be generic and transferable across all healthcare sectors.

Guidance must address both provider and commissioning roles and re-audit should be considered and included where appropriate. Topics range from guidance for patients through planning for interface clinical audits to information governance, intellectual property and record retention.

Key dates:

• All bids must be submitted before: 12:00 hours 9th December 2009
• There will be two peer review meetings which authors are required to attend: 18th January 2010 and 19th February 2010
• Final drafts must be submitted before: 12:00 hours 2nd March 2010
