Discussion

Retrospective audit reveals compliance issues in postoperative documentation, highlighting persistent gaps in DVT prophylaxis and signatures.

Post-intervention compliance increased significantly for operative diagnosis, improving from 45.5% to 86.4%, but other areas still need attention.
Pre-intervention compliance was notably low for DVT prophylaxis at 25.0% and surgeon's signature at 45.5%, indicating critical gaps.
Interventions such as staff education and standardized templates were implemented to address deficiencies identified in the audit.
Sustained improvement requires long-term changes, including electronic documentation systems and ongoing staff training to reduce compliance gaps.

Adam et al. (2025) studied this question.
