It was expected that Gold Standard screening and treat- ment for plaque-related perio- dontal conditions should make up more than 50 per cent of the results and that Unaccep- table periodontal screening and treatment should make up less than 10 per cent. If both of these criteria are satisfied, Acceptable treatments would represent anything from 0 per cent to 50 per cent, which is why the expected percentage for Acceptable treatments is stated as less than or equal to 50 per cent where Gold Stand- ard and Unacceptable treat- ments are within the stated expected values. Where Gold Standard treatments do not make up more than 50 per cent, but Unacceptable treat- ments make up less than 10 per cent, the Acceptable treat- ment percentage will rise above 50 per cent. As shown by the graph (Ref 1.1), the percentage of all treatment standards found in the first cycle of audit were outside the expected values. The Acceptable level of treat- ment was delivered to 56 per cent of patients included in the audit, which is above the expected 50 per cent. Due to the Unacceptable treatment being above the expected 10 per cent of patients provided this level of treatment, this meant that the Gold Standard level of treatment was deliv- ered to less than 50 per cent of patients. The results from the first cycle of audit prove both null hypotheses correct, and thus the aims of the audit to dis- prove these are not met during this cycle. Therefore changes must be implemented at the practice in order to improve the levels of treatments be- ing provided to patients at the practice with regards to their periodontal condition and dis- prove the hypotheses. In order to improve these results, the Gold Standard lev- el of treatment provided must be increased and the Unaccep- table level of treatment pro- vided must be decreased. When examining the raw data collected during cycle one of the audit, there are some obvious areas which needed to be improved in order to in- crease the level of Gold Stand- ard treatment and decrease the level of Unacceptable treatment provided. Where treatment was Unacceptable, this was mainly because a BPE had not been performed at any examinations within the last year. Another point to note was that the majority of treatments provided within the Acceptable Ref 1.2 ‘It was found dur- ing the second cycle of audit that where the stickers were used in the pa- tient’s notes, Gold Standard treatment was delivered or planned’ Ref 1.2 Sticker implemented to improve monitoring and management of peri- odontal disease at the practice call 01619306010 506970-Healthcare Drugs Kit Advert-Full Page 07.indd 110/02/201417:12
