Quality Assurance Methodology

Methodology Step 6 Second data collection to evaluate change After an appropriate interval, a second data collection is carried out as in the first phase. The findings are compared to the criteria and standards to check that they have been achieved, and to the findings of the first data collection, to check that desired improvements have taken place. If standards have not been met, it may be appropriate either to review them and/or adopt alternative strategies to implement the required changes. If satisfactory change has been demonstrated, the practice may have to consider whether and/or when to repeat the process to ensure that standards are maintained.
