Audit Summary/Learning and Action
Although the Children’s Continence Service has achieved 100%
compliance against the majority of the criteria, the Care Pathway needs to
be revised to include the latest published NICE Guidance.
The review results demonstrate that there is no evidence that suggests
any gaps in delivery of care. None of the readmissions were preventable
or avoidable.
The review results demonstrate that there is no evidence that suggests
any gaps in delivery of care. Relevant information was provided to all of
the patients on discharge. Furthermore, there is no evidence of failure to
communicate between acute care and primary care. 100% of patients
reviewed showed no evidence of any issues concerning community care
prior to readmission. It is recommended that further audits are undertaken
to raise any clinical areas of concern and to ensure appropriate financial
credits with commissioners. It is also recommended that this work links in
with the ongoing Surgical Site Infection (SSI) audit work to identify and
potential areas of concern regarding infection rates.

arrangement with for the provision of NHS services, through the Commissioning for Quality and
Innovation payment framework. Further details of the agreed goals for 2011/12 and for the following
