# Healthcare SOP Audit Readiness Checklist

Use this checklist to assess SOP ownership, review cadence, acknowledgments, and evidence readiness for healthcare teams.

## Clinical and operational ownership
- [ ] Every critical procedure has a current owner and a backup reviewer.
- [ ] Care delivery, support, and administrative SOPs are separated clearly enough for staff to find the right version quickly.
- [ ] High-risk workflows have a defined review cadence and escalation path when updates are overdue.

## Acknowledgments and training follow-through
- [ ] Teams can identify which staff still need to acknowledge updated SOPs.
- [ ] Procedure updates that affect compliance or patient safety are tracked through acknowledgment completion.
- [ ] Reviewers can show when a procedure changed, why it changed, and who approved it.

## Audit and survey readiness
- [ ] You can export current procedures and approval history without pulling from multiple systems.
- [ ] Leadership can see which SOPs are approved, in review, or overdue for refresh.
- [ ] Compliance teams can connect documentation changes to a defensible audit trail.
