Clinical audit support available from NICE




Did you know that NICE guidance now comes with audit support such as clinical audit tools?

Let's take a look at the Head Injury clinical guidelines that were issued in January 2014:

On this page on the right hand side, you'll see a menu with the headline 'Implementation tools and resources'. Below this you'll see 'Clinical audit tools'. (Some guidelines will say 'Audit support' instead, or 'Electronic audit tools').

The clinical audit tool comes with audit standards, a spreadsheet for data collection, a clinical audit report for you to complete, along with an action plan.

Not all clinical guidelines come with audit support but many do, so take a look at the NICE website and see whether the NICE guidance you're interested in has this feature.
