Abstract So far, the level of science and technology in China has experienced unprecedented development, at the same time, the computer level of our country has improved significantly. At present, more and more Big data technologies are gradually entering the field of vision of people, in most industries of our country they are dedicated to the research and application of big data technology. Big data, these can provide people with more and more reliable information.At the same time, it also brings great convenience to people’s daily life and brings creativity to enterprises.With the development of the times and the progress of science and technology, the application of modern computer technology can achieve the digitization of information technology audit. That is, the audit project data ion of digital IT are kept and stored according to actual needs. According to the relationship between different electronic documents, link and combine them to improve the efficiency of IT audit and minimize audit costs. In recent years, Our country’s informatization process has become deeper and deeper, which has brought great convenience to all walks of life. In traditional IT auditing, it has been unable to meet the current development needs. This requires redesigning IT auditing thinking, establishing a new framework, and creating digital IT auditing to meet the needs of the times and improve IT auditing efficiency. In this article, we will study all kinds of data in the digital IT audit project, and we will discuss the application audit of the cloud-based computing platform.Big Data, mainly the audit of cloud computing platform data, and whether it is effective in the input, processing and output process, in order to achieve the effect of high speed and high quality.Finally, summarize the research results.The efficiency of IT verification has improved significantly.

AimsThe aim of this audit project was to establish the practices in prescribing and de-prescribing of psychotropic medications for patients on a specialist dementia ward.BackgroundThere is a great deal of evidence demonstration high rates of polypharmacy, defined as ≥5 drugs, in older adults in general and in those with dementia more specifically. NICE guidelines recommend a structured assessment of a patient with dementia to exclude other potential causes, e.g. pain or delirium. Psychosocial interventions are recommended as first line. Antipsychotics should only be offered second line who present a risk to themselves or others. These should only be used for the shortest time possible and reassessed at least every 6 weeks.MethodData were collected for patients (n = 20) discharged from a specialist dementia ward between September 2018 and March 2019. The unit has 14 beds caring for patients with predominantly severe behavioural and psychological symptoms associated with dementia (BPSD). The team is comprised of doctors, nurses, a clinical psychologist, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and pharmacists who meet twice a week to review patients. Data were coded by drug class and counts of medication on admission, at the midpoint and at discharge were conducted. Antipsychotic and benzodiazepine dosages were converted into haloperidol and diazepam equivalence.ResultOf the 20 patients, 70% were male and 30% female. 95% of the patient (n = 19) were admitted under the Mental Health Act (1983). 20% were managed on 1 to 1 observations and 80% were on 15 min observations. In general, the results show little change in the overall rate of psychotropic prescribing. The mean number of psychotropic medications prescribed per patient on admission was 2.30, at the mid-point of admission it was 2.30 and at discharge it was 2.05. Mean benzodiazepine dosage in diazepam equivalence reduced between admission and discharge from 3.20 mg to 2.10 mg. Mean haloperidol equivalent dosages increased at the midpoint of admission from 1.11 mg to 2.27 mg before reducing to 0.78 mg at discharge.ConclusionThe results demonstrate minimal change in the overall average number and composition of drugs prescribed. There are differences in the use of regular antipsychotics and benzodiazepines between admission and discharge which are consistent with NICE guidelines. Patients had a structured assessment with regular medicines reconciliation supervised by the team pharmacist. Therefore, the ward environment did allow for detailed discussions about de-prescribing which may not be the case elsewhere.

In the conditions of rapid development of infrastructure and deepening of informatization of economic processes efficiency of enterprises’ activity, establishments and the organizations more and more depends on the information technologies used in control systems. Today, the environment of information technology as a structural component of the organization is a complex system that combines a variety of information, software, technical, human and other resources to achieve the goals of the organization, enterprise or institution. This, in turn, leads to a growth in the need to increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of information technology, increase the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages of their use, as well as justification of information technology costs. To meet this need, the regular use of information technology audit in the enterprise management system is becoming increasingly important. The analysis of works of domestic and foreign scientists and researchers in the field of IT audit and projects management of IT audit is executed. Features of IT audit projects are revealed. Based on the results of the analysis of the features of IT audit projects, their classification is carried out. Models, methods and mechanisms of IT audit project management are analyzed. Based on the analysis, their weaknesses are identified, the main problems and factors influencing their management are identified. It is determined that IT audit projects have unique IT risk factors, quality aspects, criteria and basis of evaluation, as well as dependence on major stakeholders. Tasks and goals of IT audit project management are formulated. Stages of implementation of IT audit projects, criteria of their formation, mechanisms and tools of their management are allocated. Features of products of IT audit projects, its characteristics and value criteria are considered. The main stakeholders of the IT audit project have been identified. The categories of IT risks inherent in IT audit projects are identified.

Accidental critical care device removals in intensive care units (ICUs) are serious preventable incidents that have major implications. The study aimed to understand possible causes of such events and identify interventions that reduced their occurrence. The researchers conducted a single-center audit by collecting patient data and bundle forms for accidental device removal across two consecutive periods; they retrospectively reviewed the data from the first period (August 1, 2019 to January 31, 2020) and prospectively analyzed the data from the bundle forms obtained in the second (February 1, 2020 to July 31, 2020). From the findings of the first period, the researchers designed an intervention comprising nurses’ adherence to a care bundle checklist and an educational campaign for the care-taking team and applied it in the second period. Patients either accidentally removed the central venous lines secondary to agitation (47%), or it happened by loss of catheter securement (21%), or during daily care (17%) or patient transfer (13%). Such inadvertent incidents resulted in reinsertion with another central venous line (69%), agitation due to sedation interruption (47%), development of hemodynamic instability because of interruption of inotrope administration (30%), significant bleeding that required intervention (21%), and no complications (39%). The overall nurses’ compliance to the care bundle checklist improved from 87% to 97% after introduction of the intervention and the number of devices found in place increased. Therefore, the designed care bundle checklist and educational program successfully decreased the accidental removal of critical care devices.

IntroductionAn increasing number of people who have a history of acute coronary syndrome or cerebrovascular accident (termed cardiovascular events) are being considered for surgery. Up-to-date evidence of the impact of these prior events is needed to inform person-centred decision making. While perioperative risk for major adverse cardiac events immediately after a cardiovascular event is known to be elevated, the duration of time after the event for which the perioperative risk is increased is not clear.Methods and analysisThis is an individual patient-level database linkage study of all patients in England with at least one operation between 2007 and 2017 in the Hospital Episode Statistics Admitted Patient Care database. Data will be linked to mortality data from the Office for National Statistics up to 2018, for 30-day, 90-day and 1-year mortality and to the Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project, a UK registry of acute coronary syndromes. The primary outcome will be the association between time from cardiovascular event to index surgery and 30-day all-cause mortality. Additional associations we will report are all unplanned readmissions, prolonged length of stay, 30-day hospital free survival and incidence of new cardiovascular events within one postoperative year. Important subgroups will be surgery specific (invasiveness, urgency and subspecialty), type of acute coronary syndrome (ST or non-ST elevation myocardial infarction) and type of cerebrovascular accident (ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke).Ethics and disseminationEthical approval for this observational study has been obtained from East Midlands—Nottingham 1 Research Ethics Committee; REC reference: 18/EM0403. The results of the study will be made available through peer-reviewed publications and via the Health Services Research Centre of the Royal College of Anaesthetists, London.
