An Audit of the Management of Depression in a Community Population with Intellectual Disabilities in Accordance with Nice Guidelines

People with intellectual disability and/or autism are likely to be in hospital more often, for longer, and have poorer health outcomes. Few audit tools exist to identify their barriers in mainstream healthcare environments. This study aimed to identify evidence of audit characteristics of healthcare contexts specifically for people with intellectual disability and/or autism, for conceptual development of an auditing framework. A scoping review of evaluations of healthcare environments was completed in January 2023. Findings were presented using the PAGER framework. Of the sixteen studies identified, most originated in the UK, nine focused on intellectual disability, four on autism, and three were concerned with mixed diagnosis. Six domains for auditing healthcare environments were identified: care imperatives, communication to individuals, understanding communication from individuals, providing supportive environments of care, supporting positive behaviour, and actions to make things go well. Further research is recommended to refine an audit framework.
