LINks Suggestions • 2012/13 Programme was the 1st year we included a ‘Public Priority’ audit • You asked for an audit around the Transportation for Dialysis Patients and the use of Taxis • We plan to collaborate with PTS for this audit in Feb 2013.
We would like your suggestions again… • We scrutinise the standard of clinical care delivered to patients. Are there any particular medical complaints you think we should focus on? • We scrutinise the Patient Report Forms. We can audit any clinical information that has been documented. • We could audit whether infection control procedures are being followed or whether clinical guidelines are being adhered to…
