This free Excel template gives clinic operations teams a structured patient registration audit checklist for reviewing registration accuracy, recording findings, and tracking corrective action. Enter one audited registration per row, assess 10 checklist items, and use calculated outputs to monitor failures, completion, pass rates, follow-up alerts, and Dashboard scope.
The workbook contains four sheets—Dashboard, Audit Log, Lists, and Instructions—and provides 500 prepared Audit Log rows from rows 2 through 501. Use fictional patient references only; do not enter patient names or sensitive personal information.
In practice
What this template helps you manage
- Standardize registration reviews: Apply the same 10-point checklist to each audited registration, with controlled choices of Pass, Fail, N/A, and Not Reviewed.
- Identify recurring errors: Review failure counts and failure rates for legal name, date of birth, address, contact information, emergency contact, payer and plan, member ID, consent forms, primary care provider, and duplicate-record checks.
- Monitor corrective work: Record an owner, due date, resolution status, and resolved date when a failed item requires follow-up.
- Compare operational results: Use Dashboard date, clinic, and auditor selections to review audit volume, completion, failures, pass rates, and overdue follow-up within the chosen scope.

Common questions
About this template
The Audit Log contains 500 prepared operational rows, covering rows 2 through 501. Formulas in the seven calculated columns and the applicable dropdown validations extend through those rows.
The available checklist statuses are Pass, Fail, N/A, and Not Reviewed. A blank or Not Reviewed checklist entry causes the calculated Audit Completion field to return Incomplete.
The row-level pass rate equals passed reviewed items divided by all reviewed items. Reviewed items are those marked Pass or Fail; N/A and Not Reviewed are not included in that denominator.
Yes. The Dashboard includes start-date and end-date inputs plus clinic and auditor dropdowns. Clinic and auditor can each be set to All, and only matching Audit Log rows are marked In Scope.
Yes. When an audit has failures, the calculated Follow-Up Alert evaluates the resolution status, follow-up due date, and current date. Depending on those entries, it can show Resolved, Due Date Missing, Overdue, Due Today, or Open.
Yes. The Lists sheet contains editable source lists for clinics, auditors, registration channels, checklist statuses, audit types, resolution statuses, and follow-up owners. Edit only the designated light-yellow list cells, keep entries unique, and leave unused rows blank.
