Medicine and healthcare

Medicine and healthcare is a vital and necessary activity for society. As one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the world, its industry and activities require a comprehensive and rigorous regulatory framework.

About the field of activity

Concept and legal framework of medical audit

The minimum requirements for the quality of personal healthcare services are laid down in the legislation of the Republic of Lithuania, which regulates that healthcare institutions must organise internal medical audit activities to assess and improve the quality of personal healthcare services.

Medical audits show whether healthcare services are being delivered in line with established standards and requirements, and show providers where they are performing well and where there is room for improvement. Meanwhile, patients can be confident that they will receive appropriate, safe and professional services.

In today's healthcare system, properly completed medical records and the policies and procedures used in practice are key factors in ensuring the quality of healthcare services.

Proper documentation accurately reflects the care provided and the condition of each patient, which in turn simplifies future patient care and minimises the chances of costly errors.

Quality healthcare starts with well-designed and well-implemented internal policies, procedures and the ability of healthcare staff to use them. Well-drafted documents help, not hinder, the work.
