All national clinical audits managed by ICNARC sit under our ‘National Audit Programme’ umbrella.
Our National Audit Programme:
Creates- new audits
- new audit products (e.g. comparative reports)
- current audits (size and scope of data collection)
- current audit products (how they work and what they cover)
- ways to speed up data processing
- sharing best practice and learning across our audits
- the way we handle information security
- the services we provide to our customers
- the way we define the data collected
- how we ensure data are as good as they can be
- our reports (what they cover, their structure and design)
- our approach to changes in health care policy
- managing deadlines/pressure points across the team
- maintaining staffing levels/cover
- cross-audit working
- links with other audits and research studies (within ICNARC and externally)
