1 Clinical audit resources GLOSSARY OF TERMS TERM Audit assistant Clinical audit action plan Anonymity Check-list Clinical audit Clinical audit cycle Clinician Closing the loop Confidence interval Consensus Criteria Data Data collection tool Effectiveness Exception/ non-applicable Feedback MEANING A member of staff whose role is to provide support for audit activities, e.g. advising on methodology. A plan which details what needs to change, how, by whom, etc. as a result of the clinical audit findings. Remaining nameless in terms of clinical audit this involves ensuring that people s identities are not disclosed (service users and staff). A comprehensive list containing the criteria you are measuring in the clinical audit project often used for data collection purposes. The systematic and critical analysis of the quality of clinical care (provided by all health care professionals), using the clinical audit cycle as a framework. Provides the basic framework for the clinical audit process by identifying a series of key stages (e.g. selecting a topic, setting standards, designing the audit, collecting data to enable comparison of actual practice with standards set). The ongoing nature of the clinical audit process is shown by the cycle. A person who provides direct care to patients/service users, e.g. clinical psychologist, psychiatrist, nurse. Completing the clinical audit cycle by: (a) implementing changes in practice as a result of initial clinical audit (b) repeating the clinical audit process (a re-audit) to ensure that the changes have been effective. The confidence interval quantifies the uncertainty in measurement; usually reported as 95% confidence interval which is the range of values within which we can be 95% sure that the true value for the whole population lies. An agreement reached by a group of people. Defined and measurable statements about health care. A criterion forms the main body of a standard statement. Quantitative and/or qualitative pieces of information which, in clinical audit, are used to assess the quality of clinical practice and services provided. An instrument used to obtain the information required for the clinical audit project, e.g. a questionnaire, an interview schedule The benefits/outcomes achieved in relation to previously identified aims and objectives. That which is excluded. In clinical audit projects certain cases are sometimes deemed as exceptions or non-applicable because they do not meet standards for clinically acceptable reasons. The process by which progress and findings are communicated to the necessary stakeholders. This should ideally occur on a frequent basis. Clinical audit resources 119
2 Guidelines Intervention (clinical) Medical audit Multi-professional/ multi-disciplinary National standards Objective Protocol Prospective data Pilot ilot study Qualitative data analysis Qualitative data collection Quantitative data analysis Quantitative data collection Re-audit Reliability Retrospective data Sample Service evaluation Service user Stakeholders These are statements which are systematically developed to assist individuals in making decisions about the most appropriate treatment/intervention/course of action for a particular clinical circumstance. A therapeutic treatment or associated activity aimed to improve the quality of life for a service user. As for clinical audit apart from the fact that it only examines the work of doctors. Individuals from a range of professional disciplines e.g. psychiatry, nursing, psychotherapy etc. Standards which are set by professional bodies or the Department of Health. A clinical audit objective is a statement defining the purpose of the project - what it intends to measure, why, how and with what aim. A formal document containing a system of rules describing the correct way to behave in certain situations i.e. what to do, how and in what order. Information required for a clinical audit project which has not been previously collected and is therefore not available. The data therefore has to be collected in the future in order for the clinical audit project to be completed. Testing your clinical audit design, data collection tools etc. and trying to locate and overcome any problem areas by carrying it out on a small sample before embarking on the main clinical audit project. Processing and interpretating non-numerical data, e.g. words and text. Gathering non-numerical data such as words and texts through various techniques, e.g. interviews and observations. Processing and interpretation of numerical data. Gathering primarily numerical data through various techniques e.g. structured questionnaires, measuring scales, physiological measurements. A repeat of the clinical audit cycle. The consistency with which a clinical audit tool measures what it is supposed to be measuring i.e. does it give the same result if repeated under similar conditions? Information required for a clinical audit project which is already available since it relates to care/services received in the past. A subgroup of a population which is selected in such a way (usually at random) that it is representative of the population from which it was taken. Inferences can therefore be made from the subgroup about the whole population. An examination of a service s merit by systematically assessing its aims, objectives, activities, costs and outcomes. Any individual who receives a particular service. In this book, service user and patient are used interchangeably. Individuals or groups who have an interest/concern in a clinical audit project, i.e. those who could potentially be affected by the clinical audit process and its findings. 120
3 Standard Structure/process/ outcome Structure Process Outcome Target Uni-professional Validity A standard is a statement which outlines an objective with guidance for its achievement given in the form of criteria sets which specify required resources, activities and predicted outcomes (Royal College of Nursing, 1990). Terms originally devised by Donabedian (1966) which are used to categorise clinical audit topics. The availability and organisation of resources. The activities undertaken (e.g. clinical interventions etc.). The effect of the activities on the health/well-being of the service user. The degree of compliance with a particular criterion, considered acceptable (e.g. 80%, 75%). Standard statements should, where possible, contain a target. Professionals from a single discipline. The degree to which an audit tool measures what it is supposed to be measuring. Clinical audit resources 121

7 CLINICAL FORMS In order for there to be a continually updated record available of the clinical audit activity within a department it is important to document clinical audit projects. This will ensure that important information is not lost when individuals responsible for a particular project leave the department. It also acts as a prompt to re-audit at the appropriate time, and provides information on past activity to new members of staff. The two forms included at the end of this book were devised for different purposes. The one-page Clinical audit project summary record form was designed to provide a précis of projects, requesting key information that can be accessed at a glance. We would recommend that this form be completed at the end of each clinical audit project. When a topic is re-audited a new form should be completed. The Clinical audit detailed report form was primarily developed for the purpose of the FOCUS database. It serves both as a useful template for writing-up clinical audit projects in more depth, and as a check-list of the stages involved in the clinical audit process (which may be helpful at the planning stage). For this reason we would suggest filling in this form during the clinical audit process, completing each section as and when the relevant information becomes available. Disks with copies of these forms are available from FOCUS (a small charge will be made for this). FOCUS CLINICAL DATABASE An initial survey of members of the FOCUS network revealed interest and enthusiasm in the development of clinical audit in child and adolescent mental health services, and a willingness to share ideas and experiences with regards to this area. FOCUS has therefore decided to establish a database of clinical audit projects undertaken in child and adolescent mental health services. This information will serve as a resource for clinicans who are designing clincial audits in their own service and may then be used to develop a second book of examples. If you would like to contribute to this database and/or join the FOCUS network please contact: Carol Joughin, The Royal College of Psychiatrists Research Unit, 11 Grosvenor Crescent, London SW1X 7EE.Tel: ext. 256; Fax: ; carol.joughin@virgin.net Clinical audit resources 125
