Choosing clinical audit and QI software
How to compare clinical audit and QI software, and where Lazomis QI fits
Most products in this space describe themselves in similar language. The differences that matter show up in eight practical questions. Use them on Lazomis QI and on every other option you are considering.
Eight questions to ask any supplier
Ask for the answer in writing and ask when it was last true. A demonstration shows what a product can do on its best day; these questions show what it will do on yours.
| What to compare | The question that settles it |
|---|---|
| Scope of the workflow | Does it carry the project from method and data collection through analysis, improvement actions and re-audit, or does it stop at a form or a plan? |
| Clinical content | Are the standards and criteria supplied and referenced, or must every project be designed from scratch before any data can be collected? |
| Data boundary | What data is the product designed to hold, and is patient-identifiable information required, permitted or excluded? |
| Information governance | Where is data hosted, who can access it, what separation exists between organisations, and what documentation is available for a local review? |
| Outputs | Which outputs are generated automatically, which are editable, and which are still in development? |
| Automation and AI | Which parts are deterministic calculation, which use AI assistance, and who reviews AI-drafted content before it is used? |
| Commercial model | Is the price published? Is it a subscription or a one-off purchase? What happens to your projects if you stop paying? |
| Fit with your governance cycle | Will the outputs be accepted by your department, governance team, training programme or ARCP panel as they stand? |
Why we do not publish a named comparison table
We are asked for one regularly, and we have decided against it. Suppliers change their features and prices without notice, several do not publish pricing at all, and much of what a product does is only visible inside a licensed account. A table built from public web pages would go out of date quickly, and it would risk presenting an absence of published information as an absence of a feature — which is not the same thing.
Instead we answer the questions above about ourselves in plain terms, including the things Lazomis QI does not do, and we encourage you to put the same questions to every other supplier on your list.
Our answers, including the limitations
What Lazomis QI does
- Supplies ready-built clinical audit and QI projects with their standards, criteria and data-collection structure already in place.
- Carries a project through data collection, automated analysis, dashboards, improvement planning, re-audit and professional outputs.
- Lets you build a project around your own topic using the same structure.
- Prices premium projects as one-off Project Credits from £99 that do not expire, rather than a subscription.
What it does not do
- Lazomis QI is designed for anonymised clinical audit and quality-improvement data. Patient-identifiable information must not be entered. It is not a clinical record system.
- It does not connect to electronic patient records, so data is entered by the project team rather than extracted automatically.
- Free ready-built projects have a fixed structure. Structural customisation and building your own project are premium capabilities.
- Standards, criteria and targets in ready-built projects come from the project's clinical configuration. You must confirm that they match current national guidance and local policy before use.
- AI-assisted drafting suggests wording only. It does not generate standards, results, deadlines, owners or approvals, and everything it drafts must be reviewed.
- A conference poster export is not yet available.
- Lazomis QI is not endorsed, approved or accredited by the NHS, any Royal College, regulator, deanery or foundation school.
Likely a good fit
- A clinician or small team who needs to complete a defensible project without building it from scratch
- A department that wants one consistent method and comparable results across teams
- Work where anonymised data collection is sufficient
Look elsewhere for
- Work that requires patient-identifiable data or a direct feed from the clinical record
- Research requiring ethics approval and a research data platform
- Incident investigation, root cause analysis, or formal electronic sign-off and approval of documents
