Environmental Rounding Tool

Environmental Rounding Tool

Facilities managers are experts at mitigating life and patient safety issues, but many struggle to control infection risks in the hospital environment during construction or while performing maintenance and repairs.

This tool helps facilities managers apply the tactics of building system maintenance to infection control by identifying opportunities for infection risk during rounding.
