We are pleased to announce the introduction of a new audit platform from NOCA, which aims to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of data entry, updating, reporting and management. 

 The first audit to go-live on the new platform will be the Irish National Orthopaedic Register (INOR) in Q4 2024. 

Primary Goals

The primary goals of the new platform are to: 

• Improve the accuracy of input, update, and management of patient data for NOCA data collections. 

• Ensure information is organised, accessible, and easily retrievable for analysis, reporting, decision-making, and operational tasks. 

• Improve efficiency and scalability in the management of national clinical audit information. 

Benefits

The new platform offers numerous benefits, including: 

• Streamlined data entry with inbuilt validation and controls. 

• Enhanced end-user support.  

• Improved reporting capabilities at multiple levels. 

• Direct access to data and reporting structures for authorised users within participating sites at regional level. 

• Support for quality improvement initiatives, audits, and research at both local and national levels. 

• Indicators of national performance for comparison with international outcomes. 

We believe that this new platform will significantly contribute to NOCA’s ongoing efforts to improve patient care and clinical outcomes through better data management and reporting.
