Clinical Audit Toolkit

Structured data capture for ward audits and quality-improvement reviews: working out how audit-ready data should flow from everyday clinical records.

The story

During internship I sat in enough clinical-audit and quality-improvement meetings to notice the irony: the meetings about improving care ran on the least reliable data in the building. Audit numbers were tallied by hand from paper registers, every team counted slightly differently, and by the time the figures reached the meeting they were weeks old.

This project is a working collection of structured capture sheets and counting rules for the audits I've been involved in: an attempt to standardize what gets recorded and how, so two people auditing the same ward arrive at the same numbers.

Why it matters to Medilog

It is also deliberately upstream research for Medilog EHMS: a hospital system that captures clinical work properly should make audit data a by-product of care, not a separate clerical chore. Working out the right structures on paper first, with real audits, is cheaper than guessing in software.

Where it stands

Research stage, honestly: protocols and capture structures in iteration, no software artifact yet. The findings feed directly into how Medilog's record and reporting modules are shaped.
