A simple audit for locums

21/3/2017

2 Comments

 
It can be difficult to do a meaningful audit if you are a locum because you don't know when, if ever, you will be returning to a practice to complete the cycle.

Here's a simple audit any locum can do.
​
Keep a record of each drug prescribed and why (ready-made spreadsheet).

Compare what was prescribed with the local formulary. 
Which percentage of prescriptions were in line with the local formulary?

NB if you use no patient identifiers then you can safely take the data from place to place without needing to register with the Information Commissioner.
