The job title of Principle Administrative Officer was given in accordance to my pervious job group and bundle (11-03), yet, technically I was the clinical auditor of the medical grievance committee which is one of the committees under the clinical governance arrangements in the health regulation sector at the Dubai Health Authority.

My job was to conduct internal or external reviews of policies, and procedures to ensure the management of efficient and clean operation of the entire health sector in the emirate of Dubai exclusive only of Dubai Health City.

Clinical audit is more than just data collection: it also entails comparing current patient care and outcomes to audit criteria, with the expectation of the health practice improvement. Additional clinical auditing may be necessary to confirm that practice has improved.

The stages of the clinical audit process in the medical grievance committee are :

1) Receive the appeal
2) Agreeing on best-practice guidelines (audit criteria).
3) Data collection
4) Comparing data to industry norms.
5) Providing feedback on the results.
6) Talking about potential modifications.
7) Putting agreed-upon changes into action.
8) Waiting for modifications to take effect before re-auditing.
9) Obtaining a second set of information.
10) Examining the data from the re-audit.
11) Reporting on the re-audit findings.
12) Talking about whether or not practice has improved.

To dispense drugs prescribed by physicians and consult patients about medications and their use. To advise physicians and other health practitioners on the selection, dosage, interactions, and side effects of medications.
