Chart Audit/Chart Abstractions Chart auditing serves many purposes, compliance, research, administrative and clinical. You can conduct a chart audit on virtually any aspect of care that is documented in the medical record. Practices frustrated with clinical processes that don’t work well can use chart audits to document that something is wrong, find the defect and fix it.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2011) “Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events (including disease), and the application of this study to the control of diseases and other health problems. Various methods can be used to carry out epidemiological investigations: surveillance and descriptive studies can be used to study distribution; analytical studies are used to study determinants” (para. 1). Epidemiology was first developed to discover and understand the possible causes of contagious diseases (smallpox, typhoid, and polio) but expanded to include the study of factors associated with nontransmissible diseases like cancer, and poisonings caused by environmental agents (Cornell University, 1993, para. 1).
