Areas of good practice
- Observation chart monitoring of oxygen is well embedded across audited wards.
Areas for improvement
- Target SpO2 range is missing in 50% of cases — risk of unsafe titration.
- Weakest area: Target SpO2 range documented (50%, target 100%).
- Lowest-performing location: Respiratory Ward (0% fully compliant across 1 cases).
Safety concerns
Flag for governance and clinical review
- 50% of audited patients have SpO2 outside the prescribed target — review for hypercapnia / hypoxia risk.
