Abstract
A model of process is necessary if it is to be audited. A model derived by a group of general practitioners for an audit of their management of depressive illness is described, together with the recording form used and the results of the audit. It is suggested that other general practitioners could test the validity of the model by using the recording form to audit their own management of depressive illness.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
