Clinical Audit Report

The Clinical Audit Report allows you create a report of failed work, based on patient treatment information, as an aid to on-going quality improvement. If your practice is a BACD member you will also be able to output the report in the format specifically required by the BACD.

To use the report first ensure your practice is set up for clinical audits.

To Run the Clinical Audit Report

1. Select Administration > Reports and then in the Reports screen select the Clinical Audit Report:

   

   This will display the Print Clinical Audit Report window:
   

   As a non-BACD member:
   

   

   • This enables you to change the date range for the report (defaulted to the current calendar year), and to select either a detailed report output or summary only.
   • The report will include treatment failures for any services provided that had non-BACD Failure Categories set up against them.

   
   As a BACD member:

   

   • This window enables you to change the date range for the report (defaulted to the current calendar year), and to select either a detailed report output or summary only.
   • If you tick the BACD Only checkbox, these options are greyed out. The report will default to the current calendar year, and will show only your failed work for treatment you have provided that had BACD Failure Categories set against the services provided.
   • If you leave the BACD Only checkbox unticked, the report will include treatment failures for any services provided that had either BACD Treatment Categories or non-BACD Failure Categories set up against them.

   
   As an Administrator in a practice where there are NO providers with BACD membership:
   

   

   • You can select a Provider or choose several Providers using the [Multiple] button, or enter/select a Provider Category to choose providers assigned to that Category.

     If you choose multiple providers, you can choose to either amalgamate the details, or print each provider's details on a separate report.

   • You may change the date range for the report (defaulted to the current calendar year), and select either a detailed report output or summary only.

   As an Administrator in a practice where there ARE providers with BACD membership:

   

   • If you click the BACD Only checkbox, the options are greyed out, the report will default to the current calendar year, will default to Summary Only mode, and will show only failed work for treatment provided that had BACD Failure Categories set against the services provided.
     Only BACD providers will be included, and you will not be able to choose either individual providers or multiple providers, but can select BACD providers belonging to a particular category.
     If you leave the Provider Category blank, any BACD providers' failed treatment will be reported.
   • If you leave the BACD Only checkbox unticked, the report will include treatment failures for any services provided that had either BACD Treatment Categories or non-BACD Failure Categories set up against them. You can choose either individual or multiple providers, or providers with a particular Provider Category. You can also change the defaulted date range.

Report Output

The report will list for each provider the following:

• The provider's full name and BACD Membership number.
• For each service a count of the services (by male and female) and a count for each failure mode.
• After printing all the services within a category, a summary for that category is printed.
• If a service does belong to a category but does not have any failures it will not listed on the report.

After all provider's details have been printed, a summary for the whole report is printed.

Clinical Audit Report example - All providers

• If you choose "Summary Only", the report will amalgamate and total the number of failures for each Failure Category.
  Services not in a category are still shown individually.
• If the "BACD Only" option is selected, those failures that are not flagged as BACD failure categories are not reported.
  Also, at the bottom of the report, additional instructions are printed on how to fax the report to the BACD.
