Abstract:
A re-audit of the management of gonorrhoea was undertaken in 2014. Six out of nine auditable outcomes were met in the second audit (2014) compared with three out of eight in the first audit (2012). The new measures that were introduced following the original audit may have helped to improve outcomes. However, electronic patient records were introduced in December 2012. Documentation was much improved with the use of patient record templates and this has contributed considerably to the improved outcomes.
