Introduction

The National Health Service (UK) has a set of predefined hygiene levels that need to be maintained in the different areas of a hospital. There are also guidelines regarding frequency of audits to be undertaken to check these hygiene levels in the hospitals and time frames to set right any non-conformance to these guidelines.

What is QTM?

QTM is a computerised system for the management of facilities contracts - an integrated system dealing effortlessly with the needs of both client and contractor in setting up and monitoring the performance of the contracts.

What does Pocket QTM do?

Pocket QTM helps the auditor to know which hospital is due for audit and what were the ratings of the different areas in the hospital during the previous audit. It also provides the auditor with information on how to audit the different areas in the hospital and a route map showing how to reach the area he wishes to audit. This facility is in addition to the main facility for the auditor to enter his observations and findings of his current audit.

These observations and ratings are transferred to the main system when the Pocket PC is connected to the main system, thus avoiding the need for a data entry operator.
