Clinical Teams and AMaT
On the frontlines of patient care, doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals are responsible for hundreds of clinical audits.
Audit is an essential tool for clinicians to understand where services are performing in line with standards or where improvement is needed for better patient outcomes. AMaT allows clinical teams to register audits, associate related guidance, complete audits online, and manage action plans and scheduling. A timely and efficient solution - and one that means more time spent at patient bedsides
The key benefits of AMaT for Clinical Teams are:
- Simplicity - register audits online and create digital pro formas
- Accuracy - collect data using smartphones or tablets: no more legibility issues, lost paperwork or rekeying data
- Compliance - audit checks to ensure they conform with standards and guidance
- Control - step-by-step guidance through the audit; all action plans and scheduling are managed
- Clarity - dashboards clearly show audit activity, actions and progress; generate standard reports with a single click
- Portability - audits are saved in a cloud portfolio accessible even if the clinician changes Trust
Ward Teams and AMaT
Ward-based audits are a daily part of clinical areas. But given the amount of time, labour, and paperwork involved, they can be challenging to implement effectively, and documentation can be easily duplicated or omitted.
The AMaT system allows for a structured approach to ward-based audits, promoting a paper-free auditing environment for audits from 'infection control' to 'essentials of care', increasing accuracy and improving the reporting of compliance with standards. Because it is web-based, AMaT centralises your data, generates notifications and reminders, and gives you real-time visibility into performance against benchmarks.
The key benefits of AMaT for Ward Teams are:
- Simplicity - create ward-based audits such as 'infection control' and 'essentials of care' online: it's a goodbye to paperwork!
- Accuracy - collect data using smartphones or tablets: no more legibility issues, lost paperwork or rekeying data
- Control - control the allocation and scheduling of audits to relevant wards; AMaT also generates automated notifications and reminders
- Clarity - the AMaT dashboard clearly shows audit activity, actions, and progress and presents a dynamic trend analysis; generate standard reports with a single mouse click
CQC Inspections and AMaT
AMaT is designed to help inspections go smoothly by streamlining accessiblility to your organisation's audit activity and data.
AMaT's real-time dashboard results give instant visibility with audits individually associated with the five key CQC domains. Reports can be generated to demonstrate current and past activity within these areas.
AMaT intrinsically provides the following benefits for inspections:
- Simplicity - direct, instant access to all audit records, resulting in quicker and more accurate inspections that take up fewer administrative resources
- Compliance - access audit activity reporting based on guidance and CQC domains
- Evidential - review actions and improvements resulting from audit activity
- Clarity - generate dashboards to clearly show ward and cumulative audit trends; graphs and charts can be exported and fed into inspections reports
- Autonomy - review AMaT results independently
Clinical Audit Departments and AMaT
AMaT provides Clinical Audit departments with the ability to shape and control audit activity within their organisation.
Compliance with standards can be monitored closely, forward plans easily generated and re-auditing promoted across the organisation.
The key benefits of AMaT for Audit Teams are:
- Simplicity - notification of all new audits; create and issue ward and cumulative audits online
- Leadership - generate and monitor forward plans, and manage audit meetings and communications
- Control - receive a series of ‘traffic light’ status and deadline prompts - AMaT is a virtual audit PA

The Trust and AMaT
AMaT provides management with a high-level overview of audit activity and results throughout the Trust.
Early identification of negative trends or compliance gaps means faster, more efficient response to issues of concern throughout the organisation. And because the AMaT system is web-based and designed to improve collaboration and communication, you can invite peer organisations to audit using the online data capture facility, compare results and findings.
The key benefits of AMaT for the Trust are:
- Accessibility - access all current, planned and historic audit activity: it's all in one secure cloud portfolio!
- Compliance - view audits relating to guidance, governance and compliance
