Audit

An audit in medical education and administration involves a systematic review and evaluation of processes, practices, or outcomes to ensure compliance with standards, identify areas for improvement, and enhance quality. In ultrasound, this could encompass auditing scan protocols, image quality, diagnostic accuracy, or educational programs for sonographers and physicians.

Effective ultrasound audit ensures adherence to guidelines, optimizes resource utilization, and ultimately improves patient care and educational efficacy. Regular audits are vital for maintaining high standards, facilitating continuous professional development, and validating the effectiveness of training and administrative workflows in the dynamic field of medical imaging.
