Audit support (criteria)

NICE provides audit support for all technology appraisals, clinical guidelines and selected interventional procedures and public health guidance. The aim of the audit support is to make the process of developing clinical audit projects easier through the provision of ready-to-use criteria, including exceptions, definitions and data source suggestions. For audit support published since November 2007, a data collection tool is also included. This tool can either be used in its entirety or 'locally' adapted to suit the requirements of your service. To help you use NICE audit support (and criteria) there is a guide available.

Tell us what you think

We want to hear what you think of the audit support and your experiences of using it.
