The use of an electronic checklist in the electronic patient record to achieve annually recommended outcomes based on British HIV Association guidelines
An electronic search was performed of the electronic patient record (EPR) system to identify whether each of 13 key interventions recommended by the British HIV Association (BHIVA) had been performed for all eligible patients attending in 2009 and 2010 at one of our HIV clinics: 345 and 358 eligible HIV-positive patients were identified in 2009 and 2010, respectively. The success rates for having completed each intervention in 2009 and 2010, respectively, were all better for 2010 and none was <94%. These improved results in 2010 over those of 2009 could be attributed to the clinicians’ improved experience in using the checklist and the facility of EPR to provide flagged reminders.
