This study presents a six-stage method for developing audit protocols. It helps general practitioners (GPs) incorporate research evidence into practice improvement audits.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Auditing
  • Evidence-Based Practice
  • General Practice Research

Background:

  • General practitioners (GPs) participate in audits, but impact on practice improvement is debated.
  • Current audit methods may not effectively integrate research evidence into practice criteria.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a systematic, six-stage method for developing audit protocols.
  • To facilitate the incorporation of prioritized, evidence-based criteria into medical audits.

Main Methods:

  • A six-stage systematic approach for protocol development.
  • Includes topic selection, literature review, evidence-based criterion prioritization, documentation, and peer review.

Main Results:

  • A structured method for creating evidence-based audit protocols.
