Patient chart audits provide the nurses with information that impacts the future outcomes of patient care. What should the nurses do with this information?
1. Use the information to create an action plan to address any negative findings.
2. Nothing.
3. Submit it to the agency’s accrediting body.
4. Place it in a file to compare with the next set of audits.

1 -- Data from chart audits or the result of quality assurance audits can be used to develop a plan of action to resolve differences or issues with patient care. The nurses are expected to use the information if it will have a positive impact on the nursing practice. Obtaining information and then failing to use it has no useful purpose. While the accrediting body of an institution may encourage quality improvement activities, there is no reason to provide the chart audit results.
