Trustwide Audit
The Trust continues to strive towards a position of safety, high quality
service and a positive patient experience at local level. In the quest to
achieve this, it is important that staff are enabled to demonstrate their
impact, outcomes and close the loop through audit.
The Trust continue to development Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
which has been one way of demonstrating the standard of care we are
achieving and the elements of care we need to focus on.
Audit is a tool within Quality Improvement and work is continuing to drive
the audit cycle forward; continually measuring our progress from findings
to show outcomes from the changes we make. The audit team are
reinforcing and supporting project teams to think about using the Model
for Improvement, where applicable, within their audit projects and have
amended reporting formats to encourage this.
The Annual Audit Activity Report is now available for 2019/2020 and
can be accessed via the Safe & Effective Care iconnect page. The
report gives an indication of the activity and status of projects that
were registered with the Safe & Effective Care Department. The report
is updated on a quarterly basis and shared Trust wide, with the Audit
Convenors and the SQE Leadership Committee.
All Directorates / Specialties are encouraged to complete and return their
Annual Improvement Plans to the Audit Department to enable continued
shared learning.
