Here are five takeaways:
1. These services provide guidance on how to perform effective audit against 18 Patient Safety Standards that the ESR considers represent essential good practice in any imaging service.
2. These standards encompass all aspects of patient safety, but particularly focus on radiation protection of the patient.
3. The ESR audit and standards subcommittee produced a set of templates to support departments in auditing their practice. These templates will help radiologists and radiographers assess their compliance with each of the standards.
4. The Clinical Audit Tool is designed to improve the quality of patient care, experience and outcome through formal review systems, pathways and outcome of care against defines standards and the implementation of change based on the results.
5. The Audit Tool is available on the myESR website for free and can be downloaded as a complete file or as separate individual audits.
