There are multiple tools available to healthcare leaders for conducting safety investigations and analyses. Among them, Root Cause Analysis (RCA) remains one of the most powerful. But it is essential to the conducting of useful and informative RCAs to have an application that is user-friendly and encourages reporting.
Incident reporting is just the beginning of the adverse event analysis process, and paves the way for more in-depth systematic analysis tools and processes which can more acutely determine the causation of a patient safety event. Clarity’s SafetyZone RCA module, when used effectively, is a powerful means by which we can deeply focus on systems and process breakdowns and drive at the causal factors behind an adverse event, regardless of its severity.
RCAs can be performed on just about any adverse situation, not only harmful events, but also chronic issues, or even near misses. By following a good step-by-step process, organizations can identify very real factors leading to an event, and crucially, they can then begin to develop targeted actions to reduce, mitigate, or altogether eliminate the likelihood of future occurrences.
