Process measures for compliance benchmarked against support area-specific criteria include the five areas noted in "The Well-Managed Healthcare Organization," Griifin, p. 330. These areas are protocols that include aspects of service contriubting to outcomes, an appropriate survey instrument, determinaiton of frequency  and detail of the insturment, implementation, and scoring at the shortest appropriate interval. Problems can arise, however, if criteria are not well defined. Some survey instuments leave much open to interpretation. Care should be taken to train staff how to use the audit tool so outcomes are truly meaningful.
