Clinical Audit

Clinical Audit is a series of pre-defined searches which provide the practice with monthly statistics of patient numbers and percentages of a target population. The audits are defined centrally and distributed across sites from the the Clinical Audit Downloads page of the Clinical Audit Help Centre. Bespoke audits for individual practices and Health Board Organisations can be created on request to Cegedim Healthcare Solutions.

The main sources for clinical audits are Cegedim Healthcare Solutions, NSF and nGMS Contract QMAS Returns and Monitoring Audits. Registration with QMAS is carried out from within Clinical Audit for England and Scotland. QOF reports are generated and transmitted to QMAS (England and Scotland). Results of QOF Reports can be viewed on-screen from the QOF Reporting tab.

Reminders can be attached automatically to patient records within an audit group, and these yellow post-it notes display when the patient is selected in Consultation Manager.

Search groups can be graphed within Clinical Audit and defined by age and sex.

Groups of patients identified via Clinical Audit are available for further group processing including mail merge in Patient Groups and Recalls. Any search group can be imported and exported, for example, to Excel.
