29. Observation (OB)
Compliance to many of the checkpoints can be
assessed by directly observing the articles, processes
and surrounding environment. Few examples are
given below
• a) Enumeration of articles like house keeping equipment,
colour coded bins, drugs, etc
• b) Displays of signages, work instructions, important
information
• c) Facilities – layout, zoning of OT, patient amenities,
ramps, complaint-box, etc.
• d) Environment – cleanliness, loose-wires, seepage,
overcrowding, temperature control, drains, etc
• e) Procedures like mopping, segregation of biomedical
waste, etc.
30. Staff interview (SI)
• Interaction with the staff helps in assessing the
knowledge and skill level, required for performing job
functions.
• Examples –
• Competency testing – Quizzing the staff on knowledge
related to their job
• Demonstration – Asking staff to demonstrate certain
activities like hand-washing technique, use of PPEs, etc.
• Awareness - Asking staff about awareness of Antibiotic
Policy, disinfection, sterilization, autoclaving etc.
• Feedback about adequacy of supplies, problems in
performing work, safety issues, etc.
31. Record Review (RR)
It may not be possible to observe all procedures. Records also generate
objective evidences, which need to be triangulated with finding of the
observation. For example on the day of assessment, every colour coded
bins might be having liners, but if review of the liners supply and usage
register reveals poor supply pattern of liners, then more enquiries would
be required to ascertain on the adherence to biomedical waste
management protocols. Examples of the record review are given below –
• Review of sterilization records – Autoclaving Register,
• Review of department registers like BMW Register, Linen Register,
Kitchen Register, expenditure registers, Needle stick injury Register etc.
• Review of licenses, formats for legal compliances like Authorization for
BMW, Incident reporting, etc.
• Review of SOPs of BMW management and Infection control for
adequacy of process
• Review of monitoring records –culture surveillance report, calibration
records, etc.
32. Patient Interview (PI)
Interaction with patients/attendants/visitors may be
useful in getting information about cleanliness and
their experience in the hospital. It gives us users’
perspective. It should include –
• Feedback on staff behavior, food quality, Linen,
waiting times, etc.
• Their experiences during hospitalization/visit.
• Communication about personal cleanliness,
hygiene promotion
