An electronic database was used as an audit tool by a peripatetic auditor to collect data on the management of genital chlamydial infection from genitourinary medicine clinics. A paper proforma was used to obtain data on clinic facilities. The database generated pre-specified quantitative reports for comparison to national standards and guidelines, as well as comparison of performance between clinics and to a previous regional audit. Feedback and discussion took place to identify interventions intended to improve practice. This methodology allowed for rapid dissemination of the audit findings to clinics.
