The application of audit to resource allocation and clinical
practice has emerged as a fundamental principle in Western medical
systems over recent years. Used effectively, audit can have
wide-ranging benefits for both the patient and the practitioner, in
terms of resource management and quality of care. This book reviews
the concepts behind audit and the approaches that individual
specialties take. First, the book describes the philosophy of audit
and the requirements of various agencies such as the Department of
Health and the Royal College of Surgeons for audit. Second, the
book outlines the specific requirements of the major specialties
and third, the book gives practical suggestions for the development
of an audit strategy. There are comparisons between audit performed
in the United Kingdom and that performed in the United States and
Sweden. Further, the need to consider the relationship between
resource management and medical audit particularly with reference
to the data requirements is emphasized. Throughout the book the
concept of "completing the loop," i.e.the need to effect change
from the audit activity is discussed as well as the educational
value of audit. The editors have stressed that there are no hard
and fast rules in creating an audit strategy and as yet there are
few experts.
