This audit module is designed to look at patient rooms or bed bays.  

The audit module is designed to be used when you have a limited budget and short timeframe.  Interventions suggested are able to be undertaken with a small amount of money (if any) and in a short space of time.  Please note – there is a separate ward audit module for rooms and bed bays that is more comprehensive and suggests interventions that require a larger budget and a longer timeframe.  Neither are intended for major refurbishments or new builds.

You may use this audit module on its own or as part of an audit of other parts of the ward.

This audit module contains 16 questions and will take approximately 15 – 20 minutes to complete.  It contains questions about orientation, safety and comfort.  

Some questions may be relevant in some rooms/wards but not in others.  Where questions are not relevant, there is an option to select ‘not applicable’, however please complete as many questions as possible to conduct a thorough audit.  

A notes section is provided underneath each question to record any additional information or prompts for action that you identify while carrying out the audit.  

In order to see your results, please click the 'view your accuracy' link after submitting. To keep a record of the results, please print it or save it as a pdf.

If you want to audit more than one room or bed bay, please submit this audit, view and record your results, and complete the audit again for the new location.
