The National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) defines Clinic Audit as: "...a quality improvement process that seeks to improve patient care and outcomes through systematic review of care against explicit criteria and implementation of change. Aspects of the structure, process, and outcomes of care are selected and systematically evaluated against explicit criteria". Practice Manager allows for this "review of care" by recording additional clinical information in specialised EPR (Electronic Patient Record) screens.

"Generic" EPR Screens The generic EPR screens cater for most clinical audit requirement by allowing for the recording of previous history, investigations, diagnosis, management, medication, procedures, risk assessment, complications, and outcome. Scoring Systems As well as allowing you to use many of the industry standard scoring systems, (such as ASA Grade, EuroScore, POSSUM, etc) you can also define your own coding and scoring systems. Specialist EPR Screens In addition to the "generic" EPR screens, additional "speciality specific" EPR screen are also available. For example, extra screen for Ophthalmology Audit allow for the recording of information such as Inter Occular Pressure, Visual Acuity, Refraction, etc. Some specialities are broken down into sub-specialities. For example Orthopaedics has specialist screens for Knee Audit, Shoulder Audit, each recording specific information relating to those areas. Clinic Audit Reporting Practice Manager's in-built advanced reporting system allows you to interrogate your data in any way you choose, without the need for any programming knowledge. Data can be combined with an other information stored in Practice Manager, allowing you to combing EPR data, billing data, diary data etc.
