Validated healthcare cleaning and sanitizing practices

A method comprising:

• identifying contamination vectors of hospital acquired infections within a healthcare facility;
• defining a plurality of modules within the healthcare facility, each module associated with a physical area within the healthcare facility or with a function performed within the healthcare facility;
• associating each of the plurality of modules with a different one of a plurality of cleaning process maps;
• monitoring validation points specified in one or more of the cleaning process maps;
• and
• verifying whether process parameters associated with each monitored validation point are satisfied.

A computer-readable medium comprising instructions that upon execution in a computer of a validated hospital cleaning processing system cause the computer to:

• receive collected data from a healthcare facility, the collected data based on monitored validation points within a plurality of validation processes for the healthcare facility;
• store the collected data from the healthcare facility in association with hospital data that uniquely identifies the healthcare facility;
• store module data that defines modules within the healthcare facility;
• store process map data that defines at least one validation process for each module within the healthcare facility;
• analyze the collected data with respect to the process map data and generate therefrom validation data indicative of cleanliness of the one or more healthcare facilities;
• and
• generate at least one report that characterizes the cleanliness of the healthcare facility based on the collected data, the validation data, the hospital data and the module data.
