A cikksorozat első két része a minőség, a minőségszemlélet fogalmát, fontosságát, a minőségirányítás, a minőségmenedzsment-rendszerek jelentőségét, illetve a bizonyítékokon alapuló orvosi gyakorlat szükségességét ismertette. A harmadik rész a klinikai audit jelentőségét és lépéseit ismerteti. A klinikai auditnak fontos szerepe van az egészségügyi ellátás minőségének biztosításában és fejlesztésében, amely minden gyakorló orvos feladata. A klinikai audit leggyakoribb formájában a gyakorlatot hasonlítják össze a klinikai irányelvekkel, protokollokkal és más szakmai standardokkal, és szükség esetén változtatásokat vezetnek be annak érdekében, hogy a betegek a legjobb szakmai ellátásban részesüljenek. A klinikai audit tehát egy olyan minőségfejlesztő folyamatnak tekinthető, amely az egészségügyi ellátás fejlesztendő területeit keresi, megtervezi és végrehajtja azokat a beavatkozásokat, amelyekkel az orvosi ellátás minősége fejleszthető, majd ismételt audit (re-audit) során vizsgálja a bevezetett változtatások eredményeit. Célja egyrészt a szakmai minőségfejlesztési tevékenységek ösztönzése, másrészt ezek hatásának mérése a klinikai hatékonyság megvalósulása érdekében. A dolgozat végén felsorolásra kerülnek az orvosi gyakorlat minőségbiztosításának és minőségfejlesztésének kulcsfontosságú üzenetei. Orv. Hetil., 2012, 153, 174–183.
