Performance review guides

Case note reviews provide an independent expert opinion on whether the management of a series of cases has met the relevant standards of care.

A duty of care review is the process of systematic review of individual patient cases to ensure the patient has received the correct or optimal care and is conducted when concerns or allegations about the performance of an individual or team have been substantiated by evidence of poor standards of practice.

An investigative audit scrutinises a sample of cases to establish if there are valid concerns about the performance of an individual.
