Checklists

Audit instruments. Each checklist is designed to be used directly, in design reviews, vendor evaluations, procurement and RFP processes, deployment readiness gates, and governance committees. They work as a build spec and as a buyer's questionnaire interchangeably; the questions are the same.

• Red flags audit: diagnostic questions. Anything that can't be answered with a documented "yes" is the conversation to have next, whether that conversation is with your own team or with a vendor.
• Deployment readiness: what "ready" looks like before patients are exposed to the system. For buyers, this is the contractual minimum before go-live, not a vendor's marketing claim.
