A mini audit is simplified clinical audit that allows you to look at a small number of patient records to validate what you do, and/or to prompt you to consider what you are overlooking or want to enhance. You can use a mini audit to review charts of patients you’ve recently seen, or as a guide for the next set of patients you will see.
Each mini audit comes with a template that you download to your computer. The template is a checklist (with some description) to help you assess your work. Try one of the following options:
