AUDIT SUBMISSIONS

DOCUMENTS

1.   Guidelines for the Preparation of Audit Submissions

2.   Audit Application Form

An audit is broadly defined as an ‘activity where the primary purpose is to monitor, evaluate or improve the quality of health care delivered by a health care provider’ (When Does Quality Assurance in Health Care Require Independent Ethical Review? NHMRC 2003 p3)

To facilitate the conduct of audits the WCHN HREC will waive the need for the proposal to go before the full committee provided the Committee Chair or approved delegate of the committee is satisfied that no substantive ethical issues have been raised.

Audit review falls into one of two categories i) full committee review ii) Chair only review. For information about these two categories and more general information about the submission of audits please see Guidelines for the Preparation of Audit Submissions.

Those wishing to undertake an audit will need to complete the Audit Application Form and forward the relevant number of copies to the WCHN HREC:

• 13 copies are required for full committee review
• 1 copy is required for Chair only review.
