Vol 2: Monthly Department Audits and NABH Compliance Reviews: Reference for Hospitals, Healthcare Workers and Healthcare Education: 68 department ... 6th Edition (The NABH Hospital-Wide Series)

The only NABH guide companion book on the Indian market that codes every Objective Element of NABH 6th Edition inline to a specific departmental audit line — 68 monthly department audits, 5 cross-cutting institutional audits, ~10,000 NABH-coded items. Volume 2 of THE NABH HOSPITAL-WIDE SERIES.Stop re-inventing the audit form. Start running the cycle.NABH 6th Edition requires every accredited hospital to demonstrate continuous internal monitoring through monthly audit, departmental indicators, and CAPA. The standard does not supply the audit form. Every accreditation department in India re-invents the form, every cycle. Volume 2 ends that re-invention.Aligned with NABH 6th Edition (effective 1 January 2025) and the 2024 statutory framework (BNS, BNSS, BSA, DPDP, BMW, AERB, CDSCO, FSSAI), Volume 2 is the comprehensive monthly audit instrument for the entire hospital.Section B — Monthly Department Audits (68 chapters). One audit per department, organised under the same twelve dimensions: statutory and credentialing · scope and policy · equipment and facility · personnel and training · clinical processes · infection prevention and BMW · patient communication and consent · special populations · quality indicators · audit and governance · sentinel events · dashboards. ~150 audit items per chapter. Every item coded inline to its NABH 6th Edition Objective Element. Critical-safety items flagged. Pass threshold ≥ 90% with zero open NCs on critical-safety items.Five cross-cutting institutional audits. IPD file review (30 files, 50 parameters across AAC, COP, PRE, MOM, IMS, HRM, HIC) · Patient and family interview · Staff interview (role-specific protocols) · Document review · Hospital committees review (the 11 mandatory committees, attendance, agendas, CAPA closure).Inside a typical chapter — B.25 Pharmacy. Dimension 1: Drug Licence, Schedule X register, CDSCO registration. Dimension 2: Pharmacy Manual, high-alert and LASA lists. Dimension 3: refrigerator temperature log (signed twice daily). Dimension 4: Medication Safety Officer under MOM.1.a. Dimension 5: medication reconciliation on admission, transfer, discharge. Dimensions 6–12: hand hygiene, vernacular counselling, paediatric/geriatric dose tools, error rate, sentinel-event RCAs, committee minutes. 150 items, each coded.Eight reasons no other Indian NABH audit reference comes close: 1. Every Objective Element coded inline — no Indian reference does this at scale. 2. All 68 departments + 5 cross-cutting audits — institutional cycle complete. 3. Twelve-dimension architecture — same shape in every chapter. 4. Critical-safety items flagged — your team knows where the survey can be lost. 5. NABH 6th Edition aligned — current to 1 January 2025. 6. Cross-referenced to Volume 1 and Volume 3 — one integrated system. 7. Pass threshold defined — ≥ 90% with zero open critical-safety NCs. 8. Field-tested on a working tertiary hospital floor.For: NABH Coordinators · Internal Auditors · Quality Managers · Accreditation Consultants · Patient Safety Officers · Hospital Administrators · Medical Superintendents · Department Heads · Faculty at Nursing, Paramedical and Hospital Management Colleges.Whether you run a 50-bed nursing home or a 600-bed tertiary teaching institution — Volume 2 replaces months of form-design work with an operational audit instrument you can deploy on the day the book arrives.About the author.
