DEPARTMENTAL CLINICAL AUDIT PROJECT [TRAINEES ONLY]

For the purpose of the Departmental Clinical Audit Project competition at the CAR, the principal leader of this audit project must be a resident, fellow or medical student and must be mentored by a staff radiologist. All stakeholders involved or affected by a quality initiative must be part of the planning and implementation of the project. Depending on the quality initiative scope, this could include staff radiologists, clerical staff, nurses, technologists, non-radiology clinicians, laboratory staff, and others. This is important because interventions or changes resulting from quality initiatives require acceptance and support from all affected personnel. A multidisciplinary approach to clinical audit is central to finding solutions and making change.

These presentations should demonstrate a quality improvement process that seeks to improve patient care and outcomes through a systematic review of practices and protocols against explicit criteria and an explanation of the improvements made.
