Complete the criteria audit report.

you will then be required to audit 20 cases available in Resources on Blackboard or 20 hospital records. When using the hospital records on Blackboard, some of the details are missing. Please use your imagination and make this up for the sake of the exercise.

Once you have completed your audit on 20 cases, create a summary sheet. On Blackboard in Resources are two Excel spreadsheets called "80 Cholecystectomy Criteria Audit Results" and "80 Health Record Criteria Audit Results". Selecting the correct spreadsheet, add these 80 cases to your summary sheet. You now have data for 100 cases that you can analyse and draw some meaningful information from.
