OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of an audit and feedback intervention on the accuracy of the diagnosis summary in the medical records of gynecologic patients in Songklanagarind Hospital. MATERIAL AND METHOD: An audit was conducted on the medical records of 468 gynecologic patients that visited between January 2006 and March 2007. They were divided into non-malignant and malignant conditions both before and after the planned intervention. RESULTS: The accuracy of the summary of the diagnosis for non-malignant conditions was better than malignant conditions. The correction to the principle diagnosis in medical records of patients with malignant conditions increased significantly from 16.7% to 42.9% (p < 0.001) after the audit and feedback. In medical records of non-malignant conditions, corrections to the principle diagnosis and any complications also significantly increased from 72.0% to 82.0% (p = 0.01) and 76.0% to 90.7% (p = 0.002), respectively. CONCLUSION: Audit and feedback is effective for improving the accuracy of the diagnosis summary for gynecological conditions but malignant conditions need more improvement strategies. |
