Abstract:

Healthcare delivery in the 21st Century is rapidly changing. The combination of political pressures and ensuing infrastructure changes across health delivery models can sometimes make the patient feel a neglected, although vital part of the equation. Putting the patient at the heart of high quality care focuses on the need for patient feedback and clinical evaluation through a variety of different media. Clinical audit is an implicit part of this aim, and it is as applicable to all osteopathic clinicians. The aim is to recognise audit and evaluation as an opportunity rather than a threat to clinical autonomy thereby benefitting both patients and clinicians. This Masterclass will describe the development of clinical audit, the stages involved in the process, how to identify where changes can be desirable, how to implement those changes, and the often forgotten vital stage of re-audit to identify how those changes have had an effect on the delivery of care.
