How to Run a Simple ICU Audit Using the ICU 360 Connect Toolkit

In our previous blog post, Top Clinical Audit Topics for ICU Improvement, we outlined high-impact audit areas and provided access to ready-to-use templates. This follow-up guide focuses on the practical implementation, from saving the form to generating meaningful data insights within your unit using ICU360Connect Audits.

Step 1: Save Your Own Copy

When you click the audit link, Google will automatically prompt you to "Make a copy"

Click the blue “Make a copy” button.

The audit will then be saved directly to your Google Drive.

This ensures:

• Your unit owns the data

• Responses remain private

• You can customise the form if required

Step 2 – Collect Audit Data

• Share your copied form with your team.

• Complete one form per patient/procedure (as per your audit design).

• Data will automatically populate the “Responses” section.

Step 3 – Create the Spreadsheet

To view and analyse your data:

1. Click the “Responses” tab.

2. Click the green spreadsheet icon.

3. Select “Create a new spreadsheet.”

All responses will now automatically populate in that spreadsheet.

This spreadsheet can be:

• Used for compliance calculations

• Filtered for trends

• Downloaded as Excel

• Shared within your governance team

Step 4 – Export (Optional)

To download as Excel:

• Open the spreadsheet

• Click File → Download → Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)

If your unit requires support in interpreting results, benchmarking compliance, or generating governance-ready reports, secure audit analytics support is available through JR Analytics.
