What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 1 controls across 1 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • 3.12-3.14 Invasive medical devices are used and managed consistently with the national guidelines; the environment is kept clean, safe and hygienic with TGA-listed products, cleaning training, audits and improvement; and infection risks from equipment, areas, building works, linen and novel infections are evaluated and addressed

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
