The Role of Clinical Audits in Advancing Quality and Safety in Healthcare Services: A Multiproject Analysis From a Jordanian Hospital. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

Article Abstract

Introduction Clinical audits have become essential instruments for evaluating and improving the standard of patient care in healthcare services. While individual clinical audits focus on particular aspects of care, multiple clinical audits across various domains, specialties, or departments provide a more comprehensive understanding of clinical practice and encourage systemic improvements. Methodology This study employed a mixed-methods approach to review and assess various clinical audits and quality improvement initiatives conducted at Al-Karak Governmental Hospital in southern Jordan. The study aimed to identify obstacles and possibilities of conducting clinical audits and provide suggestions for enhancing audit procedures and results. Data were collected from both retrospective and prospective sources and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results The study comprised 11 audits conducted in three medical departments, namely surgery, obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN), and pediatrics, with a total of 618 participants. The improvements in adherence to guidelines after the second loop of all the audits were significant and showed significant improvements in adherence to guidelines, demonstrating the efficacy of clinical audits in improving clinical practice and outcomes. Conclusions Clinical audits are essential for maintaining and improving quality and safety in healthcare services, particularly in developing nations where emergency obstetric care is lacking. Multiple clinical audits provide a comprehensive understanding of clinical practice and encourage systemic improvements. The findings of our study suggest that clinical audits can lead to significant improvements in adherence to guidelines and better clinical outcomes. Future research should focus on identifying best practices for conducting clinical audits and evaluating their long-term viability and expandability.

Introduction: Trauma and orthopedics departments have traditionally used face-to-face (FTF) fracture clinics for non-operative fractures. Developed in 2011, the virtual fracture clinic (VFC) was fully implemented at an institution during the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce in-person interactions.

Aims: First, the study aims to measure the percentage of non-operative patients triaged through the VFC when this was optional and re-audit after implementing a COVID-19-related policy change mandating VFC triage.

Introduction: In an emergency room, triage is a crucial element that determines the clinical urgency of patients. Triage can dictate important decisions on the use of resources and the treatment that patients need. Many patients are seen later than necessary, wasting resources and time, and some may even be discharged without being seen, risking their lives.

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections, and appropriate antimicrobial therapy with agents that minimise resistance is crucial. Despite international concern, adherence to guidelines is still suboptimal. This study aims to determine the effect of the absence of national guidelines and the rate of conformity to international guidelines among physicians in antibiotic (ATB) prescriptions for the treatment of UTIs in adults and detect the factors that are associated with a higher rate of non-compliance.

Background: The frequency of EoE has been increasing in Northern Hemisphere cohorts, yet there is a scarcity of data in our region. Regional climatic factors, and lifestyle habits may influence the presentation of EoE, and appropriate management is crucial to prevent complications. WIth this is mind we undertook the first comprehensive multisite study of EoE in Australasian children.
