Clinical audit is a quality improvement process that aims to improve patient care through a systematic review of care against explicit criteria. It is a cyclic and multidisciplinary process which involves a series of steps from planning the audit through measuring the performance to implementing and sustaining the change. Although audit contains some facets of research, it is essential to understand the difference between the two. Auditing can be done right from the record maintaining, diagnosis and treatment and postoperative evaluation and follow-up. The immense potential of clinical audit can be utilized only when open-mindedness and innovativeness are encouraged and evidence-based work culture is cultivated.
临床审计是一个质量改进过程，旨在通过对照明确标准对医疗进行系统审查来改善患者护理。它是一个循环且多学科的过程，涉及从规划审计到衡量绩效，再到实施和维持变革的一系列步骤。尽管审计包含一些研究方面的内容，但理解两者之间的差异至关重要。审计可以从记录维护、诊断与治疗以及术后评估和随访等方面进行。只有鼓励开放思维和创新，并培养基于证据的工作文化，才能发挥临床审计的巨大潜力。
