Palliative care clinicians support audit implementation but need better training and support to manage workload. Advanced training focusing on motivation, results analysis, and feedback is crucial for successful audit maintenance.

Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care
  • Healthcare Management
  • Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Audit is a key component of quality improvement in healthcare.
  • Palliative care services require effective audit processes to ensure high-quality patient care.
  • Understanding clinician needs is essential for successful audit implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the attitudinal, training, management, and support needs of palliative care clinicians regarding the introduction of audit.
  • To identify barriers and facilitators for the successful implementation and maintenance of audit in palliative care settings.

Main Methods:

  • Anonymous questionnaire distributed to palliative care clinicians.
  • Data collected on attitudes towards audit, prior training, current involvement, and perceived needs.

  • Response rate of 61.2% (41 out of 68 clinicians).

    • Main Results:

    • A high proportion of respondents (88%) viewed audit positively, with workload increase being a primary concern.
    • While 66% had received audit training, only 39% were actively involved in audit.
    • Clinicians expressed a need for more information, feedback, experienced assistance, and managerial support.

    Conclusions:

    • Healthcare managers must address clinician concerns regarding workload and provide adequate support for audit to be sustained.
    • Current training is insufficient; palliative care staff require advanced audit training covering motivation, results analysis, and feedback mechanisms.
