The self-audit instrument library

We do not rank clinics. We give a clinic the instruments to assess itself.

The name says rank my clinic. Here is what that means here: nothing on this site ranks anybody. There is no directory, no league table, no list of best anything, and no comparison of one clinic with another. What there is, is 34 assessment instruments a clinic runs on its own operation and gets a defensible result from, on paper or on screen, with the result staying entirely with the clinic.

Instruments, not league tables. Every scorecard here measures a clinic against written criteria rather than against other clinics.

What this publication will not do

It will not rank clinics against each other. It will not publish a directory, an award, a top ten or a best-of list of clinics, practitioners or suppliers. It will not name a supplier as recommended. It will not invent an industry benchmark: where a rubric would need one to be meaningful, we say plainly that no reliable public figure exists and score against criteria instead.

Scoring runs in your browser. Nothing is saved, nothing is sent to us, and closing the page clears it. Every instrument can be printed and filled in on paper. Read the scoring method for how the bands are derived, and the about page for who publishes this and how it is funded.
