Piloting with Iowa hospitals

Every pilot is measured from the first week.

Before go-live we record how your unit runs today. From then on, every turnover is timed and kept, so the before and after are numbers, not opinions.

  • Turnover timeDischarge to available, by unit and by staff member.
  • Time to acceptHow long a discharged room waits before EVS takes it.
  • Clean timesPer room, per shift, against the unit’s minimum.
  • Inspection resultsPass rate and re-cleans, by unit and by step.
  • Daily-clean complianceWhich occupied rooms got their 24-hour clean.
  • Most-missed equipmentThe items that fail inspection or go past their clean.
