The process of conducting concurrent audits typically involves several steps:
1. Planning: The audit team identifies the areas to be reviewed and develops an audit plan. 2. Observation: Auditors observe nursing activities and review patient records in real-time. 3. Data Collection: Information is gathered through direct observation, interviews, and review of documentation. 4. Analysis: The collected data is analyzed to identify any deviations from standards or areas needing improvement. 5. Feedback: Immediate feedback is provided to the nursing staff, and corrective actions are recommended if necessary.
