Quality Audits 

From the Quality Assurance icon in the left nav bar, you can access the Quality Audits display. This display shows the notes that have been audited by Bells. Quality Audits are configured via the Quality Audits configuration under Organization Settings. Bells users can configure Yes/No question for progress notes to be audited against. The Quality Audit questionnaire can be configured for specific services or programs. See further down in this article for the Organization Setting configuration. 

In the display you'll find note records for the notes that have gone through the Quality Audits process based on the configuration. 

Along the top are the filters for the display, including the date picker, the percentage for the score, the practitioner and patient. The practitioner and patient filters are multi-select. 

The patient column shows the patient card for the progress note. 

Author is the note author. 

Session Date shows the date and time for the progress note. 

Questionnaire shows the name of the questionnaire used for the audit. 

Score shows the score for the note based on the configured questions and their weight. 

Clicking on a note record in the display shows the note on the left and the questionnaire/questions used on the right. 

Clicking on a question in the right expands the question, shows the answer identified and what evidence led to that answer. If you disagree with the audit's findings you can change the answer to the opposite of what was found as part of the audit review display.
