The 4-Step Clinical Audit Workflow
- Etiological & Anatomical Review: Verifying that described biological pathways (e.g. tissue biotypes, bacterial pathogenesis, bone resorption) align with peer-reviewed literature.
- Safety & Urgency Triage Audit: Ensuring that red-flag conditions (severe mobility, acute suppuration, severe pain) clearly prompt urgent professional care.
- Commercial Isolation: Confirming that sponsor products or botanical solutions are neither over-promoted nor falsely equated with surgical or clinical interventions.
- Citation Verification: Double-checking that all numerical statistics, clinical success rates, and trial outcomes accurately reflect cited source publications.
