NCAPOP workshop report: using Trust-level national clinical audit data for quality assurance and improvement
The purpose of this document is to collate the findings of a multi-disciplinary workshop held by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) in conjunction with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in November 2015.
The purpose of the workshop was to describe the progress of a collaborative endeavour between HQIP and CQC to systematically optimise the use of National Clinical Audit (NCA) data for both quality assurance and quality improvement. It also engaged with key audiences and stakeholders that use NCA data by encouraging discussion in an open forum.
This document will describe the conduct and format of the workshop, provide linkage to relevant online supplementary material and distil the results of attendee discussions into broad themes.
This document should be read in conjunction with preceding documents describing the conception and advancement of the project:
