Do we measure up? The development of a multidisciplinary quality assurance and audit system in a psychiatric rehabilitation setting.
The purpose of this paper is to describe a simple system of multidisciplinary team quality assurance and audit, and to consider its use in a rehabilitation unit. The Merton rehabilitation team at Springfield University Hospital, Tooting, developed this system, and this paper also outlines some of the problems encountered during the system's development. The system not only offers criteria by which to assess performance in a long-term and rehabilitation setting, but also provides a method for evaluating the multidisciplinary team's performance.
