Helping to keep buildings safe and operational
Healthcare audits, risk management and compliance
For buildings to be kept safe and operational, compliance and regulatory standards must be met.
Within the NHS specifically, compliance standards must meet the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2021. These standards are relevant to all healthcare environments as cleaning compliance is a key performance indicator for most healthcare settings.
Within healthcare it is imperative that risks, quality and compliance are all managed and maintained accordingly.
Whether you are a hospital, a doctor’s surgery, or a dental practice, fmfirst® can support:
- Asset management
- Cleanliness audits
- Document management
- Efficacy audits
- Incident reporting
- Risk assessments
Users can create risk registers and action plans that can drive improvements in employee and patient safety. fmfirst® Survey and fmfirst® Tasking are both flexible applications that can be used to manage risk and compliance within your healthcare setting.
Healthcare audits
A cleaning audit tool enables facilities managers to demonstrate how and to what standard their environments are being cleaned.
Asckey has two cleaning audit tools available for healthcare audits. The first one is fmfirst® Cleaning, designed specifically to meet the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2021. The standards seek to drive improvements while being flexible enough to meet the complex requirements of all healthcare organisations. The software mirrors this principle.
On completing the audits, fmfirst® Cleaning automates report emails and includes any required corrective actions. This method of providing instant fault reporting and rectifying options allows users to act right away, allowing time and resources to be proportionately allocated.
Outside of the NHS, cleaning audit software can be too complex. This is where fmfirst® Survey can help with other healthcare audit templates that digitally collect the data to demonstrate compliance standards are being met.
fmfirst® Survey is a tailored application that can provide a digital audit trail of completed tasks and its comprehensive reporting function allows users to identify high-risk areas, trends, and opportunities for development.
By using fmfirst®, you can store all your audits in one centralised system. Contact us today to discover more about how you can benefit from our software.
