Introduction • AUDIT CYCLE (revision) • Problem identified • Audit of current practice & literature review • Analyse & discuss need for change • Institute change of practice • Re-audit & review • Repeat as necessary • The project/audit – ‘Pain and Emesis experiences at home after day surgery for 48 hours’ (UK) • Poster • Publication • PHO web-site
The UK Project • Problems highlighted – early 1996 * • Multidisciplinary approach * • Audit of current practice – late 1996 • Standardised questionnaire (article) • Literature review – international • No standards • Change of practice – early 1997 • Re-audit – late 1997 • Presentations – 1998 • Publications – 1999
