Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Surgical Auditing
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • QE II Hospital's surgical department required a suitable computerized auditing system.
  • Three leading surgical auditing software programs were evaluated for departmental needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the most effective surgical auditing software for the QE II Hospital surgical department.
  • To assess the suitability of different software programs based on specific departmental criteria.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative trial of three surgical auditing software programs: Otago University Surgical Auditing Program, Australian Surgical Auditing Program, and RACS-Audit.
  • Evaluation criteria included data entry time, required surgical knowledge, and report usefulness.

Main Results:

  • The Otago University Surgical Auditing Program was identified as the best fit for the department.
  • This system features a user-friendly interface suitable for multiple users, including junior medical and clerical staff.
  • Data collection was rapid, data entry logical, and generated reports were appropriate for morbidity and mortality meetings.

Conclusions:

  • Personal computers are highly effective tools for conducting surgical audits.
  • Critical assessment of surgical auditing software is essential, focusing on data entry efficiency, time commitment, and report utility for effective audits.
