Patient Safety: The PROACT Root Cause Analysis Approach
Автор:Robert J. Latino Год: 2008 Издание: [не указанo] Страниц: 192 ISBN: 1420087274 Written by a reliability expert, this book provides a perspective on patient care from outside the healthcare industry and culture. Challenging perceptions about Root Cause Analysis (RCA), it provides a new approach that includes tools such as Basic Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Opportunity Analysis (OA) which help quantify and prioritize events which deserve the attention of true RCA. The authors begin by defining the events that require RCA to maximize the effect on the patient. They address not only the proactive methodologies but also the organizational paradigms that must change in order to support and sustain such activities in the interest of patient safety.
