No one continuing medical education (CME) method is inherently effective in changing physicians’ behavior, particularly when it is used in isolation; thus, combinations of methods are superior. It was for this reason that CME, practice guidelines, and chart auditing skills were combined in developing the concept of self-documented chart audit. The objectives of the self-documented chart audit relate to two areas: evaluation as a diffusion innovation using CME and clinical practice. Self-directed chart audit is an innovation that encompasses many of the parameters of the new paradigm for CME and facilitates introducing clinical guide-lines into an evolving clinical setting. Further work with self-documented chart audit is required.
