Quality improvement in veterinary practice and the use of clinical audits

Abstract Quality improvement (QI) techniques can help veterinary practices improve the care they give to their patients. There are numerous barriers that may prevent veterinary staff taking part in audits such as lack of time and know-how, but these projects do not need to be complex to make a difference. QI can review practice policies and procedures to prevent avoidable harm to patients and to embed evidence-based veterinary medicine into decision making and daily practice. All staff should be encouraged to incorporate QI in to reflective practice.
