The PCS Clinical Audit System (CAT) is a clinical information system that supports quality improvement in information management and enhances the business capability of general practice. It is a software tool that operates with the GP Clinical Desktop System (Medical Director, Best Practice, Genie) to present the GP and other practice staff with meaningful clinical information. The tool can filter many different data sets (patient demographics, diabetes, coronary heart disease, cervical screening, Asthma, Mental Health) CAT scrutinises the aggregated patient information of the practice.
