Clinical Audit
This document discusses clinical audits, including definitions, history, types of audits, and the audit cycle. It defines a clinical audit as a quality improvement process that systematically reviews care against criteria to implement changes. The first known clinical audit was conducted by Florence Nightingale during the Crimean War. Key points made include that audits seek to improve patient care and outcomes, while research examines whether the right processes are being followed. The document also provides a case study example of "The Great Coffee Audit" to illustrate how an audit was conducted to address doctors' dissatisfaction with the temperature of their coffee.

He spent the next six years confirming the high mortality rates and attempting to improve the service. This led to a fall in mortality rates for children's heart surgery in Bristol from 30% to less than 5%.
