What is a national clinical audit/outcomes project?

It is either a project funded by the NCAPO Programme (includes NJR and PICANet) or, although separately funded, meets all of the following criteria:

  • national (England) coverage (achieved or intended)
  • main focus is the quality of clinical practice
  • evaluates practice against clinical criteria/guidelines and/or collects outcomes data
  • applies the audit cycle and/or monitors clinical/patient outcomes data in an ongoing way
  • prospective (ie does not include retrospective reviews of adverse outcomes such as confidential enquiries).
