Auditing records is a necessity in quality improvement in nursing. The Cat-ch-Ing instrument is Auditing records is a necessity in quality improvement in nursing. The Cat-ch-Ing instrument is developed for auditing nursing records based on the VIPS-model.
In a sample of 66 audits, this study explores the correlation between the total score, the quantitative and the qualitative score when using the Cat-ch-Ing instrument. Furthermore, the article explores the transparency of the total score, and discusses the applicability of the instrument. It was found that a high total score in Cat-ch-Ing was dependant of the presence of a care-plan and a discharge note in the record. Results of audit using the Cat-ch-Ing instrument ought not to be compared since the contents of the total score lack transparency. We recommend that Cat-ch-Ing is further developed before being used systematically in Denmark. This development should focus especially on the elimination of systematic bias, weighting between variables and integration of Danish legal demands towards nursing documentation.
