Audit is now an essential aspect of health care provision. Increasingly, computers are becoming an integral part of the clinical audit function and this book provides an introduction to the principles of this application. It assumes to prior knowledge of either computing or audit, and avoids technical jargon. The book's focus on principles should give it international relevance. Part one explains basic computing principles, hardware, operating systems and software packages including databases, spreadsheets, word processing, focusing on the types of data they should be used with. Part two deals with the application of computers to audit, leading to an overview of how to design and manage a computerized audi project. Small, intermediate and large systems are considered. This book has been written for medical, nursing, para-medical and health service managerial staff who are involved in some form of audit.
