Turning Quality Audits into Action — Not Just Paperwork
Share
Audits are only as useful as the action they drive. Commissioners don’t just want to know you do audits — they want to know how those audits make your service better.
🧭 From Findings to Action
Make clear in tenders that you:
- Summarise audit findings with measurable data and commentary
- Create action plans from each audit with named leads and deadlines
- Use the results to inform supervision, training, or system changes
📈 Tracking and Reviewing Progress
Demonstrate your commitment by showing how you:
- Log actions and follow up at leadership level
- Monitor whether actions have improved practice or outcomes
- Adapt future audits to reflect learning from past ones
📣 Communicating Audit Impact
Let commissioners know how your audit process supports transparency:
- Findings shared in team meetings or newsletters
- Audit themes included in quality reports or board papers
- Positive outcomes from audits shared with people using the service
A strong audit cycle doesn’t end with a checklist — it ends with better care. Show commissioners how your audits drive real change.
