This hospital floor and unit inspection checklist supports routine audits across clinical areas such as the ED, OR, MRI, GI Lab, PACU, cath labs, and inpatient units. It guides staff to verify crash carts are locked and in date, confirm lock numbers, and capture issues with photos. It includes OMNICELL checks for cleanliness, damages, paper and label dispensers, screen and scanner sanitation, and medication expiry. Refrigerator sections cover cleanliness and absence of food or drink. Servidors and other storage areas are checked for security and expiry dates. Use it to standardize rounds and document an overall inspection grade.
