The system uses room functional risks to determine the audit frequency for the ward.
The frequencies are configurable, but by default are set to:\
FR1 - Weekly\
FR2 - Monthly\
FR3 - Bi-monthly (every 2 months)\
FR4 - Quarterly\
FR5 - Six-monthly\
FR6 - Yearly
This is in line with the recommendations in the National Standards for Healthcare Cleanliness 2021 by NHS England.
When using blended areas, the proportion of rooms in each risk category within a ward will determine the overall ward functional risk (e.g: if ten rooms are in FR2, five in FR3, and one in FR4, the rating for the would be FR2 blended). The audit frequency for blended areas is the same as above.
