New Clinical e-Audit for Patients with Type 2
The National Prescribing Service is currently working on the NEW Clinical e-Audit which provides a new structured opportunity for GPs and GP registrars to look at the quality of their management of patients with type 2 diabetes.
The e-audit is a fast way to easily record changes to practice with real time patient-specific information, using best practice clinical indicators.
The Clinical e-Audit promotes time effective work practices by systematically identifying patients for review, contains relevant clinical guidance and enables peer review. The activity can be completed in about 3 months depending on the time for review of patients.
Enrolments for this free quality improvement activity are now open until 9 January 2010.
