EANM’s role: Consortium Member (Work Package 4 Co-Lead)

The CLAUD-IT project is set to elevate patient care across Europe by supporting EU Member States in implementation of clinical audit, with a focus on radiology and nuclear medicine. CLAUD-IT connects hospitals, authorities, and societies in 9 EU Member States to develop clinical audit guidelines, methodology, and supporting documents. This initiative will train over 250 professionals, empowering them to lead audits and improve healthcare quality and safety across EU.

Scope & objectives:

• Assess the current state of the art in all 9 participating Member States to identify new developments since the completion of the QuADRANT project as well as existing infrastructures and stakeholders.
• Prepare practical, concise and evidence-based audit material and related training material for radiology and nuclear medicine and to make these available in a central repository in order to provide a “one-stop-shop” for stakeholders.
• Hold practical stakeholder training to conduct clinical audits under external guidance.
• Raise awareness for the importance of clinical audit by communicating its mandatory character as laid down in the BSSD and explaining the great impact it can have on daily professional practice as well as its contribution to higher quality care and patient safety. Convene the stakeholders in an effort to develop clinical audit strategies and campaigns.
