NICE gets tooled up
Abstract
To date over 20 guidelines or technology appraisals have been issued. At first, it seemed implicit that these guidelines would be subject to the audit process and that NICE would provide guidance and practical support for undertaking this activity. NICE have now issued a template for the audit of NICE guidelines based on a multi‐level approach. While audit of NICE guidance is an essential element of the whole clinical governance agenda, the burden of work that this could introduce to Trusts may be unsustainable. Suggests possible alternatives to auditing NICE guidance and proposes the use of a minimum dataset and full exploitation of electronic means of data harvesting.
