About NOCA

NOCA advocates for a commissioning process for new national clinical audits. We will assist both the HSE and DoH on this. We will support and provide advice to the HSE National Centre for Clinical Audit (NCCA) in the prioritisation and commissioning of new national clinical audits (e.g. assist with the identification of gaps; carry out feasibility studies to determine the scope, design options and high-level costs of an audit). We anticipate further information will become available later this year. For further information, please contact us at auditinfo@noca.ie

NOCA seeks to be an independent voice through the use of reliable data and advocate for change at a national level. Current priorities include improving data quality, increasing public and patient involvement in our audits and introducing outcome measures to our audit tools. We are also advocating for a sustainable quality improvement culture within the Irish healthcare system.
