UM WalkRounds Cross Audit: General Standards

This WalkRounds cross audit checklist helps hospital teams evaluate general standards across nursing, infection prevention and control, facility management and safety, medication management, quality management and patient safety, provision of care, patient and family rights, and information management. Use it to verify staffing sufficiency, equipment availability, PPE access, hand hygiene, safe storage of medications, clear signage, emergency power coverage, waste disposal, patient identification, and safe application of restraints. Capture observations and staff interviews to drive corrective actions, compliance, and continuous improvement.
