Auditing activity requires patient data to be collected and analysed to allow comparisons to be made and conclusions drawn. Within the General Dental Services the Dental Practice Board regularly collects practitioner specific clinical data and distributes this to allow dentists to compare their own clinical activity with local and national means. In hospital dentistry, a software package has been developed to enable orthodontic audit to be performed in hospital practice. The package is now being piloted in several centres. A similar software package is required for auditing restorative dentistry activity in units where consultant services are provided. Hospital patient administration systems provide demographic data and appointment systems predominantly with little opportunity for patient specific clinical analysis. Carefully designed software will allow appropriate clinical data and analysis. To ensure compliance and accurate recording both by clinical and support staff it is essential that any software system should be easy to use.
审计活动需要收集和分析患者数据，以便进行比较并得出结论。在一般牙科服务中，牙科实践委员会定期收集特定从业者的临床数据并进行分发，以便牙医将自己的临床活动与当地和全国的平均水平进行比较。在医院牙科领域，已经开发了一个软件包，以便在医院实践中进行正畸审计。该软件包目前正在几个中心进行试点。在提供顾问服务的单位中，需要一个类似的软件包来审计修复牙科活动。医院患者管理系统提供人口统计数据和预约系统，主要是几乎没有机会进行针对患者的临床分析。精心设计的软件将允许进行适当的临床数据和分析。为确保临床和辅助人员的合规性及准确记录，任何软件系统都必须易于使用，这至关重要。
