Cochrane Reviews, 10/20/09
Evans C et al. – Trauma audit filters are descriptions of specific actions that should be taken, timeframes in which tests or treatments should be provided, or outcomes that are expected to occur in injured patients. Reviewing the charts of patients whose care deviates from that described by an audit filter and providing feedback to the clinicians involved in that patient's care is expected to provide a means of correcting errors and improving future performance. This study tried to determine how effective audit filters are at improving trauma care. The authors were unable to find any studies to include in the review. More studies are needed to determine if audit filters are effective in improving care and, if they are, how effective they are in comparison to other quality improvement strategies.
