This audit module is designed to be used when you want to determine how your systems, policies, procedures and processes support the maintenance of a clean environment.

It looks at how the policies and procedures regarding your ward’s cleaning schedule optimise an older patient’s care, noting that cleaning may be a service that is outsourced by the health service, therefore the ability to alter cleaning policies and procedures may be indirect.

You may use this audit module on its own or as part of an audit of other aspects of policy and procedure, or of the physical space.

This audit module contains 8 questions and will take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete.

Some questions may not be relevant.  Where this is the case, 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.
