Audit in Dental Practice Warren Tolley BDS, MPhil Dental Practice Advisor Powys

Why Bother with audit? To help identify potential problems before it is too late!

Clinical Audit Encourages individual GDPs and PCDs to self examine different aspects of their practice Identify areas of improvement Ensure that quality is being maintained

Set Standards Implement change Observe current practice Compare Against standards The Audit Cycle

How do I enter the cycle? Decide on a topic that you wish to audit Decide on the standards to be achieved Collect data on current practice Compare this data to your standards Make changes where necessary Repeat at intervals to complete the cycle

Key Points S. Specific M. Measurable A. Achievable R. Realistic T. Time (Can be completed on time)

Who to involve? Dentists and PCDs within one dental practice Collaborative- A joint audit between 2 or more dental practices Avoid single audits Collaborative audits are excellent for single handed practices especially in rural areas

Remember Introducing clinical governance to primary care, the government stated that it "must be seen as a systematic approach to quality assurance and improvement within a health organisation... Above all clinical governance is about changing organisational culture... away from a culture of blame to one of learning so that quality infuses all aspects of the organisation's work.

The Good News Funding is available for approved projects A maximum of 15 hours for completed projects is funded at £65.07 per hour A maximum of £130 travel allowance per project The convenor of the project can additionally claim an extra 2.5 hours and secretarial support

Possible Topics Clinical Dentures Crown and bridge Deciduous restorations periodontology Administrative Record keeping Health and safety Cross infection Timekeeping

An Audit of Cross Infection Control and Practice 2007

Objectives To establish that a series of cross infection control procedures were being carried out in line with the individual practice cross infection control policy To audit both the dentist and nurse in cross infection To review each individuals cross infection control policy and compare it with the BDA A12 document and implement any changes as required To carry out a second audit To make any further amendments following the second cycle

Method A data collection sheet was devised to look at a series of 12 cross infection control procedures that are commonly carried out in dental practice The dentist and nurse filled in the data sheet Prior to the audit each practice was asked to review their cross infection control policy in order to accurately fill in the form 10 patients were observed for each category

Cross Infection Control Procedures 1.Instrument decontamination and sterilisation 2.Medical history form checked and updated 3.Impressions disinfected and disinfectant used 4.Clinical waste disposal and storage 5.Protective clothing used 6.Items intended for single use disposed of 7.Water lines disinfected 8.Safe sharp disposal 9.Correct storage of sterile instruments

10. Aspirator cleaned and disinfected 11. Surfaces disinfected and disinfectant used 12. Zoning between clean and dirty areas practiced correctly

Score Codes 1= Practice best practice 2= Minor Fault 3= Serious breach of cross infection control policy

Data Analysis Data was collected from each practice Kruskal-Wallis statistical test was used ( this test is appropriate for non-parametric data)

First Round Audit Results Statistical differences for categories 1 and 5 No scores of 3 were produced Categories 7,8,and 12 had increased scores of 2

Conclusions of audit 1 Category 1: Nurses wearing latex gloves to clean instruments Category 5: Dentists wearing prescription glasses Category 7: Confusion on Disinfection of DWLs Category 8: needle re-sheathing device Category 12: Touching key board/door handles with dirty gloves

Second round data collection A12 document was read and discussed Amendments were done to individual practice cross infection control policies All practice staff were briefed on any changes The audit was repeated

Second round data Statistical difference (P<0.05) in category 5 The frequency of score 2 was reduced No scores of 3 were awarded

Frequency of score 2 in first round

Frequency of score 2 in second round

Conclusions No serious breaches occurred Dentists are reluctant to wear protective glasses Useful in allowing nurses to observe dentists Both phases demonstrated a high standard Discussion phase of the audit is useful especially in a rural setting The audit would be repeated on a regular basis and from part of new staff induction training All staff would be encouraged to attend postgraduate courses

Where do I get information
