Hi Everyone
I was hoping that someone might be able to provide some advice or experience in regard to auditing aseptic technique. We currently have a process in place whereby we (IP&C) have been doing most of the auditing with a bit of help from learning and development. We have in excess of 600 beds in the hospital so as you can imagine this method of auditing is not sustainable.
I was wondering if anyone has tried using a simulated approach to auditing aseptic technique and if so is this acceptable for accreditation purposes?
All advice would be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards

Hi Mary
I am happy for you to phone me – next week (not Monday – major deadline due). We have an extensive program for aseptic technique, including auditing. We have our audit tool on a commercial android device and they provide some fancy reports each month. I have also developed a training program to teach staff to audit aseptic technique.Our hospital has set up a SIM room and we can use this for assessment.
A number of hospitals within our Local Health District have some impressive work on aseptic technique
Thanks

We are a smaller rural facility but even for us it is impossible to catch staff in actual real aseptic technique situations. We have developed a calendar of available times for staff to make appointments to be assessed in our skills lab in the Learning Services Department. Participation rates could be better but as it is a part of their professional responsibility to ensure mandatory competencies are completed, managers, will in time, ensure staff fulfil their requirements of employment. In some departments such as Oncology and Dialysis it is possible to perform assessments in the workplace as times and regularity of tasks is dependable.
We assess a variety of aseptic technique procedures in a simulated environment eg accessing a closed IV system, IDC insertion, simple dressing, inserting an IV catheter and accessing a CVAD. We passed accreditation last year with this plan in place.Cathy Mowat

Hi Everyone
Thanks very much for all your suggestions – much appreciated!! It looks like several organisations have used a simulated approach for auditing aseptic technique and that this has been acceptable.
Many thanks
