               Preface     

Welcome to AUDIT09!

 
If you have not previously participated in an IHS Diabetes Chart Audit, please take time to read these instructions carefully before beginning your audit activities.
 

 

Even if you are already familiar with the annual Diabetes Audit process, you will find that there are changes present for 2009.  Refer to the information below for a brief summary of this year's changes. Use the Quick Start directions for a concise review of the steps involved in performing either a manual or an electronic audit.  

The WebAudit, fully implemented during the 2008 audit cycle, will continue to  supplant the Epi Info audit program, providing a more secure method of transmitting the audit data to the IHS Diabetes Program and an easier way of producing reports.
