the problem
Audits don't fail at the finding. They fail at the follow-up.
Infection control finds the problems; department heads own the fixes. Yet infection control nurses spend their days chasing closing reports, and findings wait for the next committee.
Repeat findings aren't a people problem. They're a workflow problem.

Not all audit programmes are equal.
| Typical audit programme | Semmel | |
|---|---|---|
| After a failed check | Filed, waiting for the next committee | Assigned to the department head with a deadline, in one tap |
| When nothing happens | Infection control chases, or no one does | Escalates automatically, up to leadership |
| Proof of the fix | "We fixed it" | Before-and-after photos, sign-off, full timeline |
| Consistency | Each ward audits its own way | One library, one standard, every ward |
Infection control finds it. The department fixes it. Leadership sees it closed.
Infection control
Finds and verifies
Head of department
Owns the fix, with a deadline
Leadership
Sees closure by department
If a fix stalls, it escalates automatically. Infection control verifies the fix instead of chasing it.
how it works
Audit. Act. Prove.
Reason: collection schedule too infrequent
Audit
Start from a ready-made library of checklists, authored by practising infection control professionals and based on WHO, CDC and regional guidelines: environmental hygiene, isolation, PPE, waste, linen, sharps, water, ventilation, construction and device care. Adapt any checklist to your policies in minutes. Audits work on a phone or tablet, offline, with conditional questions, risk scoring, and a structured reason for every non-compliance.
ICN: Bin above the fill line at bed 4.
Ward 6: Replaced; collection now twice daily. Photo attached.
Act
One tap turns a failed check into an issue for the department head, with a deadline. If it stalls, it escalates automatically. Each issue carries its own conversation, so the department and infection control agree the fix, post updates and attach photos or video in one place, with nothing lost between emails.

Prove
Infection control verifies the fix, or reopens it. Every issue keeps a tamper-evident timeline from finding to closure, and the evidence a surveyor asks for is ready in one click.

Questions infection control and quality teams ask
Isn't this just digitising paper? +
No. Paper records a finding. Semmel assigns it, escalates it and proves it was fixed.
Will this add workload? +
Audits get faster, and chasing and compiling disappear. Teams spend their time fixing, not reporting.
What if departments don't act on findings? +
Overdue items escalate automatically, up to leadership if needed. Closure stops depending on reminders.
Can we use our own checklists? +
Yes. Start from the library and adapt it, or build your own.
Do we need new hardware or integration? +
No. Audits run on the phones and tablets staff already have, and no integration with hospital systems is needed to go live.
How does this relate to infection rates? +
Audits and closure pace are leading indicators: they show risk building before infections rise. In SafetyOS they sit alongside infection surveillance, so you can see how practice and outcomes move together.
How is it priced? +
As an annual subscription. We'll give you an exact quote for your hospital.
Some answers depend on your hospital. We'll cover them with you.
