Annual Audit
Dear All
We, in the Clinical Leadership Team (CLT), have long hoped that we could make a meaningful contribution to Primary Care and particularly GP research. We have an immense amount of under-utilized data that could be harnessed to answer all sorts of interesting questions.
We have also wondered could we help our colleagues with the annual burden of doing a practice audit. It is clear from the regulations around the audit that the GP must be heavily involved and do the work of the Audit. Having said that there may be ways we could help and in such a way that we could achieve both goals.
As a tentative start this year we have two audits to suggest to you, see attached for the full descriptions.
1: Code Familial Hypercholesteremia (FH) patients.
2: Suspected Cancer Referral Audit in General Practice in conjunction with the RCSI
Timings wise, I'm actually off on 2 weeks leave from tomorrow but to do this we do need to run the first leg before Christmas which is why I'm posting today. Particularly in the case of the Cancer Referral Audit we will have to assist you with the data extraction. Please reply to me directly at mjoyce@centrichealthblessington.iemailto:mjoyce@centrichealthblessington.ie letting me know if you are interested. (DON'T USE REPLY, that will go to everybody).
We will contact you in early December to arrange the data extract for you.
Do please also let me know if you plan to run the FH coding audit.
