  6. Deeper Dive: Auditing www.visualthesaurus.com “…to make an audit of (performance) to evaluate or improve its safety, efficiency, or the like” http://dictionary.reference.com

  7. Auditing Practice • Evaluate a sample of patients • (ie: the next 5-10 patients) • Practical and feasible strategy to evaluate performance and surface defects • Needs to be adapted to local environment • Empowers frontline staff Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality

  19. How Do We Conduct Audits? • Retrospective chart review • Concurrent review • Place audit tool on chart • Complete over continuum of care • We recommend auditing 5-10 patients • Larger samples yield better estimates of performance • Your data does not need to be submitted Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality

  20. Summary • No single SSI prevention bundle • Need to identify local defects • Auditing is a practical and feasible strategy to evaluate performance and surface defects • Tools are adaptable to local environment • Empowers frontline staff Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality

  21. Action Items • Pick 2-3 audit tools • [Add website for tools] • Audit 5-10 patients with each tool • Be prepared to share your experience with other teams on upcoming call • Share your tools and ideas for new tools on our next coaching call! Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality
