Our environmental services manager would like to implement a system where a checklist is kept behind the patients room door (all our rooms are single rooms) for the month to document cleaning has been completed. Our staff currently complete detailed checklists when undertaking daily or terminal cleaning but these are stored in the cleaners office. The list behind the door suggestion arose following feedback from a patient that they suggested their room had not been cleaned during the length of their stay as they had not seen a “cleaner”. I was wondering if anyone else has implemented a similar system and how they manage it to prevent the pages becoming damaged. Does anyone have a better suggestion?

Hi Heidi,
I have recommended these types of cleaner/environmental services staff checklists.
They can be kept inside or outside the room using a transparency sheet protector secured with blue tack.
Each day the responsible cleaner ticks what was cleaned – see attached sample I recently prepared for a clinical area (room) in a community health setting.
In addition the requirement to complete the checklist is included in the organisations cleaning policy.
Regards
Glenys
