All healthcare facilities environmental services professionals should have data about the facilities they help to maintain, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
Data gathering methods should include:
• Visual room inspections. Typical checklists include dusting and a visual inspection of the patient bed, floors, highly touched surfaces, bathroom fixtures and windows.
• Surface testing results. Each month, ES professionals should test the most highly touched surfaces in patient rooms to determine the effectiveness of cleaning techniques and staff adherence to cleaning procedures.
