The follow-up to Clinical Governance - Making it Happen considers the implications of clinical governance for a wide range of health care professionals including nurses, medical directors and chief executives. The contributors examine the role of the new government organisation NICE, the responsibilities of those working for NHS organisations and the benefits of patient involvement. Advancing Clinical Governance will enable health professionals to implement clinical governance effectively and with confidence.
The application of audit to resource allocation and clinical practice has emerged as a fundamental principle in Western medical systems over recent years. Used effectively, audit can have wide-ranging benefits for both the patient and the practitioner, in terms of resource management and quality of care. To set up an efficient and productive audit facility requires careful planning and may encounter resistance. This book provides a detailed account of audit processes and discusses the application of audit in a variety of medical settings. It is both a thoughtful review and a practical guide to successful medical audit, the collection and utilization of information for effective resource management and improved patient care, in the hospital and in the community.
