Turkey’s Healthcare Quality Framework

SKS Sterilisation Records and Audit Preparation

SKS is Turkey’s healthcare quality standards framework. This guide introduces record organisation for CSSD teams; the institution should use the applicable official requirements, procedures and audit scope when defining its evidence inventory.

Organise the relevant record categories

Link the required records to a defined workflow and assign responsibility for their completion and retrieval.

Keep the record chain understandable

An audit sample may span several teams or systems. Consistent identifiers, timestamps and record ownership help the team follow the sample across handovers. Identify gaps before an audit rather than relying on unverified explanations.

Document exceptions and corrective actions

A discrepancy record should explain the issue, how it was detected, the action taken and the follow-up. The institution’s procedures determine how an event is assessed and closed. Keep the evidence associated with the relevant set, instrument or process record.

Assess the software against evidence needs

A demonstration should show how records are retrieved, how reports are produced and how corrections can be reviewed. SterilO supports record organisation and reporting; it does not replace clinical procedures, official requirements or an auditor’s assessment.
