Standard 4: Field Inspection Audits Patrick Kennelly, Chief Food Safety Section California Department of Public Health March 12, 2014
Field Inspection Audits • Quality assurance review to assess the effectiveness of its inspection program. • 2 audits of each inspector every 36 months • Conducted by a qualified auditor • Documented on Audit form that is equivalent to the FDA Contract Audit form • Need an 80% audit rating to be considered a successful audit
Field Inspection Audits • Then and Now • Better Defined Process • Uniform Documentation • Ability to Compare Ratings Across the Program
Field Inspection Audits • Things to Consider • How do you select facilities for staff audits? • What constitutes a “qualified auditor”? • Do you want to vary or alternate auditors for each staff? • How do you address individual “Needs Improvement” Ratings?
Field Inspection Audits • Scoring across the spreadsheet identifies areas of “Needs Improvement” ratings within a rated category. • Need 80% “Acceptable” ratings within each rated category across the program to be in conformance. • How do you address Non-Conformance ratings?
Field Inspection Audits • Benefits • More Knowledgeable Workforce • Improved Inspection Procedures • Identifying Training Gaps • Findings Drive Quality Improvement

Inspection Report Audits Russell Lilly Manufactured food program manager Missouri Department of Health March 12, 2014 8:00 AM
Because… • I had three inspectors and reviewed every inspection report • It is wildly prescriptive • At least half of the widgets don’t apply • If the shoe doesn’t fit it is uncomfortable
Our situation changed • 18% of 22 inspectors • A quality assurance program becomes necessary and valuable
We took the money… • We owe an honest effort to comply with the standard
We did it… • My best advice • Hire someone smart and assign it to them
Was it worth it? • I think so • We have sent a number of “corrective emails” • Mark this here not there • Be sure to put your “time out” on the form • Turn in your reports on time
I would still like • To have a quality system designed from the ground up to fit our program

Challenges of Auditing our Sample Collection Records: Step 1 Test drive of Appendix 4.7.
Challenges of Auditing our Sample Collection Record (SCR): Step 1 Results of Test drive of Appendix 4.7. • Findings: • 4.7 is more easily managed in table format • FDA Criteria: • Some not applicable or redundant for our reports • Very general: guidance specific to our SCRs required
Audited against our Policy Added guidance specific to our Sample Collection Record form and procedures
Customized 4.7 Form: Added guidance specific to our Sample Collection Record form and procedures
Piloted new form and guidance by auditing 71 SCR’s from Calendar 2012 • Results: • Opportunities for improvement: Use of hash marks and down arrows, form completeness • Redundant criteria: • SCR and sample always together
Challenges of Auditing our Sample Collection Records (SCR): Problem detected but not an audit criterion: Use of Correct Form Substituted alternate criteria: Use of correct form
Challenges of Auditing our Sample Collection Records (SCR): For redundant criteria, combined and substitutedalternate criteria
Sample Selection (included in SOP for Standard 4) • 75 SCR’s chosen per calendar year from MF establishments for auditing: • at least 1 per sampler, • random with regard to date, establishment
SOP for Standard 4 Cont. • Entering and tabulating results: Excel Spreadsheet • 1 for acceptable, • 0 for needs improvement
SOP for Standard 4 Cont. • SCR Audit completed in March for previous calendar year • Needs Improvement Factors (<80%) become training topics at staff meetings • Other improvements can be made immediately upon discovery: • Already identified from SCR 2013 audit: “Foodborne Outbreak” reason for sampling on new Dairy SCR
