10 The Audit Cycle

11 Using the BASHH National Audits- 1 Managed the collection of data for my clinic for the BASHH 07 Audit on Management of Chlamydia Infection … processed through clinical governance Produced a data set of performance measures for our clinic Compared our performance against other clinics in the Region, and against the BASHH national guideline for chlamydial management. –only 40% of cases received written information about chlamydia –60% follow-up of cases in clinics …

12 Using the BASHH National Audits- 2 Interventions: –changed from routine follow-up of cases in clinic to telephone follow-up –led a process that found our health advisers/nurses dedicated time for telephone follow-up of chlamydial cases –produced a new proforma in our clinic, including prompts for scheduling follow- up and providing written information …

13 Using the BASHH National Audits- 3 Led re-audit of chlamydia management, using the same questions from the BASHH chlamydia audit Measured the effect of the interventions introduced aimed at improving practice and demonstrated significant improvement: –… reduced follow-up in clinics from 60% to 20%, freeing up time in clinics to see more patients –… increased our overall follow-up rate from 70% to 85%, by switching to telephone follow-up –… 60% of cases are now recorded as having received written information

14 Development of BASHH national audits Moving towards shorter, higher impact audits and re-audits Based partly on new BASHH standards for STI services (in development) Linked to revalidation/recertification
