  • Effective audit completion is complex and impacts outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of medical audits within an ophthalmology department.
  • To identify challenges and areas for improvement in audit procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 18 medical audits.
  • Evaluation based on audit level, objectives, benefits, and practice impact.

Main Results:

  • Only one audit met full criteria; 60% were partial/potential, 30% were planning stages.
  • Most audits lacked implementation plans or future assessment targets.
