Patient Room Audit Checklist

This Patient Room Audit checklist helps hospitals and clinics evaluate room readiness and safety. It covers infection prevention and control, confirming approved hand sanitizer, clean and intact curtains, no opened single use items, and only clean equipment present. It reviews general cleanliness, including floors, walls, vents, toilets, drains, linens, bed rails, windows, and dust free surfaces, plus correct waste liners and soap. Safety checks include secured sharps containers that are not overfilled, absence of slip or trip hazards, and accessible nurse call cords. Utilities and life safety items verify intact ceiling tiles, good floor and wall condition, working lights, no plumbing issues, comfortable temperature, and clean air grilles. Miscellaneous checks confirm adequate furniture, working TV, clean and functional bed remotes, availability of patient lift equipment, and up to date equipment inspection labels.
