Overview

Audit reveals enhanced documentation in laparoscopic appendicectomy notes after implementing GIRFT and ASGBI guidelines.

Key Points

  • Documentation improvement achieved in 89.7% of measured variables after implementing a new proforma.
  • Initial audit showed that 19 out of 31 variables were included in less than 70% of surgical notes.
  • An educational poster alongside a standardised proforma was employed to facilitate better documentation practices.
  • Some minor gaps remained in documenting appendix location and arterial division methods despite improvements.
