Hi,
This is an introduction of an assignment talking about the effect of clinical audit on mental health services.
I described the aim of the assignment, i talked about why i chose the clinical audit topic, why i chose the mental health service as a scope and why i chose the specific academic resources for appraisal.
I need some help regarding the structure, the language and the vocab.
Thanks a lot.
Critical Appraisal of Academic Sources of Theory and Evidence: Effect of Clinical Audit on Mental Health Care.
Introduction
This assignment discusses the impact of the clinical audit process on the quality of healthcare services. This impact is concluded through critically appraising three articles which discuss three clinical audit projects. These projects are similar in targeting mental health services but with different prospective. The assignment ends with highlighting the significance of clinical audit process and its implications on the concept of quality improvement of healthcare services.
Among all of the components of the Clinical Governance, clinical audit has been chosen to be the subject of this assignment for its apparent capability of improving health care services. One of the strengths of clinical audit is that being considered a simple and inexpensive method of evaluation and changing, yet very effective if implemented well.
Mental health problems do not only affect the individual patients, but it also has a prominent effect on carers, families and society too. However, the "world view" tends to undervalue the extent of this problem and this is mostly due to the tendency of not admitting by patients and families. Another reason is the difficulty of ensuring adequate and effective standards to ensure an acceptable level of quality of care and the extent of the large difference in the psychological conditions in terms of diagnosis, evaluation and appropriate treatment methods.
The three articles have been selected because they cover three different areas of mental health practice (effectiveness of prescribing, monitoring and documentation and patient experience and involvement), moreover, they represent the two categories under which the research question usually fall: effectiveness of a process and frequency of an event.
